Do master documents still exist?
I have many chapters in a manual, and would like to keep each chapter
separate. I used to work with master documents (i thought it was in Word, but maybe not), which would pull in each sub-document when working with the master. But each sub document could also be worked on as a separate doc. Does this capabiltiy still exist. I don't want to have to pull in the 1000 page doc each time i want to do an update; for many reasons. -- Thank you. |

See the article "Why Master Documents corrupt” at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...ocsCorrupt.htm and the article "How to recover a Master Document” at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...MasterDocs.htm I would suggest as an alternative, you see the following page of fellow MVP Daiya Mitchell's website: http://daiya.mvps.org/bookword.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
