Debbie -
I am working on a policy manual myself. I don't understand what you're calling a master document. Do you mean a template? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Debbie K" wrote in message ...

a bunch of existing documents. I'm not sure how much you can manipulate the text inside PDFs. Also see the links below for some workarounds.
