Master Doc and deleting Section Breaks
I read from a reference here that section breaks are the major cause
(or A major cause) of Master corruption. Instructions said to delete all section breaks, but.... that is not allowed on Master Documents. You can't delete the section breaks. Do you have to create a macro or something to do this? I am resorting to Master only because I have about 15000 page document and the "customer" wants it in one Master Document. |

Master Doc and deleting Section Breaks
Hi Yepp,
I read from a reference here that section breaks are the major cause (or A major cause) of Master corruption. Instructions said to delete all section breaks, but.... that is not allowed on Master Documents. You can't delete the section breaks. Do you have to create a macro or something to do this? I am resorting to Master only because I have about 15000 page document and the "customer" wants it in one Master Document. Does the customer really want a Master document, or just a "master" document? If he's certain he wants a Word Master Document, which features available ONLY in Master Docs does he hope to use? I generally have no problem removing section breaks in a Master document... Which version of Word are you using? How are you trying to delete the section breaks? Note that the section breaks are necessary if you need to retain individual page setup information or headers/footers from the sub-documents.

I'm using Word2002. If I right-click and try to cut the break or press delete, it will not let me do that. Message reads "You cannot change a locked subdocument or Master document." I do not see the section breaks in expanded mode. Only on the outline view. |

Master Doc and deleting Section Breaks
Hi Yepp,
I'm using Word2002. If I right-click and try to cut the break or press delete, it will not let me do that. Try positioning the cursor just before (or, in the Outline view "on") the section break. Shift+Right arrow to select it. Now press Delete. Message reads "You cannot change a locked subdocument or Master document." I do not see the section breaks in expanded mode. Only on the outline view.

Hi Yepp,
I still get the same message.... "You cannot change a locked subdocument or Master document." Have you expanded the Master document to display the full document texts? You do need to do that in order to make any changes...
