For cutting up current document, use Save As and trim unwanted parts.
For new document, start with a common template that has your numbering and
other styles already set up.

I inherited the job of managing a large handbook in MS Word that
consists of 12 chapters plus six appendices. Most chapters have
multiple authors and reviewers. The handbook is not set up as a master
document. We're using Word 2003.
1. How can I separate the chapters to distribute to individual
reviewers while preserving the original formatting including paragraph
numbering? I've tried just cutting the text into a new document but
that eliminates the headers and footers and usually changes the styles
and paragraph numbering starts over from 1.0. (I.e., if I cut and
paste section 5.0 for example, the first heading in the pasted text
becomes 1.0. The same thing happened when I tried turning it into a
master document. The first heading in each subdocument became 1.0.)
2. I will soon be creating a similar document for another program. The
plan is to use ClearCase to manage it. (I have no choice in this).
Since I will be starting from scratch, what's the best way to set up
the document so I can have separate files for individual chapters and
then be able to assemble the whole thing with continuous paragraph
numbering and page numbering and a single TOC?
Thanks,
gi
