Hi Phil,
There wasn't any specific focused work on the Master Documents area (originally added to match one in WordPerfect g). Some folks
have reported it being more stable than previously, which may be from the change to the new file formats and to some work on
stability in numbering and styles.
You can reduce the 'between versions' setup run behavior with the NoReReg registry key setting covered in the 'Multiple versions of
Word' section of

re Graham Mayor below
Thanks for all that. I agree with every word you say - Outlook2007 is
OK, an improvement I feel, but everything else is a disaster. I've
used WORD for at least 10 years, have written 2 books and god knows
how much else with it - thoroughly conversant with contents lists,
styles, change tracking, footnotes/endnotes, multi-section documents,
etc. Now its taking me weeks to get familiar with all this in 2007
and in every case so far, once i've found how to do it, I find it
harder and more awkward than it used to be. One major drawback in 2003
- very large documents - the 'Master Document' facility was a well
known shambles so I assumed it would be fixed. Has it? Not as far as I
can see.
I agree with Graham that one just has to keep both versions
available. Though I note that if I use WORD2003, next time I load
WORD2007 there's a 2 minute delay while something gets reconfigured.
Any way to stop that?
Phil
