How to create a Master Document without changing existing formats.
I am creating a twelve chapter document that has a separate document for each
of the chapters (as well as the forward). Although these documents are formated the same, each time I bring them into the Master Document, the format changes. Is there a way I can preserve the existing format? The section breaks are really only to create continuous page numbers, but I also would like to have a separate footer for each chapter. Any wuggestions?? |

How to create a Master Document without changing existing formats.
Master documents tend to corrupt, so you may not want to use them; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/Wh...ocsCorrupt.htm. An alternative is to use INCLUDETEXT fields. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...ldscontent.htm. Information on how you preserve section formatting (including headers and footers), is given in the article at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...thSections.htm. Note, however, that Word can handle fairly large documents as single files. Therefore, keeping all data in one document might be preferable. Depending on what should change in headers (footers) between sections, you may not even need section breaks. The STYLEREF field provides a way to reference text from the body of the document. See the first section of the article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm for a basic description of the STYLEREF field. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "noochie" wrote: I am creating a twelve chapter document that has a separate document for each of the chapters (as well as the forward).
