Hi all,

Is there and easy was to move a master document and it's
subdocuments to a different folder but have them maintain their
relationships?

Fairly easy question, but I can't seem to find an answer (I did
google a bit, but I can't believe you need 3rd party software to
accomplish this, surely there's an easier way?).
See:

NOT helpful, and does not appear to be correct.

First, you did not answer the question. It seems that the ANSWER
should have been "No, Not without third party software. see link
for more info..."


Second, I had already located the reference prior to locating this
site.
Bad luck there. oh well.

Third, the reference does not seem to be correct/accurate.

The reference you provided indicates that:
"For instance, let's say that you have a master and five
subdocuments. If these are all in the same directory, you can easily
move them to another single directory anywhere you desire. All you
need to do is move them."

I have a master document with 14 subdocuments (and growing) The
master and all sub documents were created in a single directory,
"P:\Documents\Master". The entire contents of that directory were
then copied to "C:\MasterTest". The original drive, 'P:' was then
disconnected (encrypted network drive). The master document opened,
but all the links to the sub documents were broken, yet all documents
were confirmed present.

That Doug is terrible isn't he - I wouldn't pay him if I were you.
