Default Master Documents

Hi.

I have used master documents in the past, but have had mostly bad
experiences--usually the documents would corrupt.

I am interested in creating a master doc for a current project and wanted to
see if anyone had any advice/tips/tricks about master documents in Word 2003.

Thanks!

Hilary

See:
http://www.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm for information on the
Master Document feature and workarounds. (This page also has a link to Steve
Hudson's chapter on how he gets Master Documents to work.) See URL:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm for more
information on what goes wrong, and URL:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm for ideas on
how to salvage what you can.
