"expand subdocuments" button is pale
I cannot use the "expand Subdocuments" button on my version of Word 2002. Any
ideas?I want to creat a booklet with Table of Contents and am unable to use the Help instructions because the buttons they refer to are pale and unaccessible to me.

You might not have the full version of Word installed. You can do a full
install, custom install or basic or minimum install. Based on what you selected you could be missing some of the functions. "Hattieruth" wrote in message news

Thank you for your reply. I thought I had moved the subdocuments into the
Master with Drag & Drop but apparently that didn't work. I finally found the correct button and now it works. Thanks again.

Sorry, I don't have an answer because I don't use Master Documents. However,
you may need the reason I don't more than you need an answer. "Master Document" is a term of art in Word referring to a "feature" that not only doesn't work but also destroys documents. The consensus (with the limited exception of Steve Hudson) among those offering advice on these newsgroups is that using the Master Document feature is a good way to destroy your document. It can destroy parts of your document that you are not even working on! I think John McGhie said it succinctly when he said that there are two kinds of Master Documents: Those that are corrupt and those that will be corrupt soon. See http://www.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm for information on the Master Document feature and workarounds. See http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...ocsCorrupt.htm for more information on what goes wrong, and http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...MasterDocs.htm for ideas on how to salvage what you can. See http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/ma...masterdocs.doc for Steve Hudson's instructions if you are willing to follow them very carefully. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Thank you so much for all your information. Now I understand why I screwed
up. I didn't...the program did! Now I will try to see if I can salvage my original material. Thanks again "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Sorry, I don't have an answer because I don't use Master Documents.
