All I want to do is insert, or copy, a page into a word doc without
continuing the previous formatting. ESPECIALLY the header/footer. Thank
you very much.

Thank you, susan, very much. That's my problem. It sounds so complicated
that I have to spend hours figuring it out. I just want to add doc B to doc
A.

Are you saying that I should add a section break at the end of doc B before
adding it to doc A?

Thank you very much.

Pretty much, yes. The very end of that article tells you how to get rid of
the section break later if you need to. Note that of course you also have to
insert a section break at the end of doc A before adding doc B.

[Si]

Well ... thank you very much. I still don't get it, and I'm pretty good
with this stuff. I wonder if there's a step-by-step instruction somewhere
.... sans explination.

Exactly what are the steps if you want to add Doc B to Doc A and preserve
the formatting, headers & footers of both Doc A & B. For example, lets say
Doc A is on pleading paper, with a header & footer. Doc B is a mailing
list, with it's own header & footer. How do you make a new two-page Doc C,
with Page 1=Doc A & Page 2=Doc B?

Thanks again.

Insert a Next Page section break at the end of Doc A and a Continuous break
at the end of Doc B; then use Insert | File to insert B after the section
break at the end of A.

Si and Suzanne:

Okay, I did some more testing and found out what's going on. The built-in
styles, like Normal and Heading 1 do not get preserved no matter how you
reply to the messages. (Since I don't use these styles, I didn't notice that
they were not being preserved in the subdocument.)

Styles that you create *do* get renamed when the subdocument is created, and
thus preserve the document's appearance.

So to make master documents work the way you want, you'd have to use custom
style names in the subdocuments, rather than using Normal or any Heading
styles.

In short, master documents aren't going to save you any trouble if you're
using built-in styles.
