<div>Hello George,<br>
<br>
<div>What package(s) are you using to handle creation of the Glossary?</div>
</div>
<div>If glossaries.sty then there is a savewrites=true option that can be used.</div>
<div>Give it a try.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In your case the idea is that you will need to use the same write channel for each chapter.</div>
<div>You must not issue the TeX \newwrite command more than once.</div>
<div>You may need to consult the documentation to get everything working correctly; e.g. using a different type for each chapter.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps.</div>

<div>Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I have encountered an unfamiliar (to me) problem: <br>
<br>
I am wrapping up a text book project. Creating a single symbol index was easy but useless, as symbols were listed randomly (vis a vis page numbers).<br>
<br>
So I turned to a by-chapter symbol index (but still one that is placed at the end of the book, the symbols grouped by chapter). This time compilation halts with a "too many \write’s" error message. (I have 16 chapters, 0-15; if I try to print a by-chapter index
for the first 7 or so chapters only, then I am OK).<br>
<br>
Any suggestions for a workaround?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
George<br>
