Hi Cedric:
Oh, you SHOULDN'T be telling a Master Document that :-)
What do you understand about "Structured Documentation"? If your answer to
that is not "I wrote the book on the subject" then please do not use
anything but built-in Heading-series styles for your headings in a master
document.
In a master document, everything depends on everything else. Most of the
functions in a master document depend upon the outline level defined in the
style in use. Some of them depend on the exact name of the style, and for a
small proportion, the capitalisation of that name matters.
You cannot rename the built-in Heading series of styles, but you can attach
aliases to style names. Look this up in the Help under "rename style".
Master documents are extremely fragile. So fragile that unless you are
using Word 2007 or later in XML format, I strongly recommend that you do not
use them. However, if you have a professional and disciplined technical
documentation workgroup with tight version control and good process, you can
use master documents. On the other hand, if you had such a workgroup, you
wouldn't need them :-)
Hope this helps

I have several subdocuments that use a main header style called "HA"
and not "Heading 1" (and then HB, HC, etc...).
How can I tell the master document that it should be using these
header names instead of "Heading 1", etc... ?
