Subdocuments is always collapsed when opening the masterdoc
I saved a masterdocument with all the subdocuments expanded. When I reopen
the masterdoc, the subdocuments are always collapsed however. As I want to distribute this file and I am afraid that not everybody is used to working with subdocuments, I want the subdocuments to appear automatically expanded in the masterdocument. Kind regards, Robrecht |

As far as I know, you cannot change that behavior.
More importantly, though, the master document feature in Word causes document corruption; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/Wh...ocsCorrupt.htm. For a safer approach, use INCLUDETEXT fields. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...textfields.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "robrecht" wrote in message ... I saved a masterdocument with all the subdocuments expanded.
