Actually, you should not need to use a Master Doc at all. Word can handle

I understand. I simply wanted to use the Master Doc to make the merging of
the various chapter files easier.

Do you suggest I make a template for my various chapter files to start with
a formatted document each time I start a new chapter, or should I deal with
the formatting as the very last step.

What I always do when I insert a new chapter in the final document is to
use "Section Break Next Page." I am not sure what the difference between
"Section Break Next Page" and "Section Break Continuous is".
