Master Document or Includetext
Hi,
I have a client that wants to use the master document feature. They have a legal document that they want to convert to subdocs and use these subdocs in more than one file. They also want to use this master doc as a form to enter text and dropdown's with if statements throughout the document. This then will be saved as a template so they can reuse this master to create new legal documents from it. The document itself is only about 22 pages in length. The reason they want this Master document is that they want to be able to update a subsection/subdocument once and have it updated in all the master documents that this subdoc in inserted. Is this going to be possible? Thanks Steve |

The master document feature is notorious for corrupting documents, however
there is no reason why you cannot have a main document and separate documents for variable insertions - use the includetext field function to include the variable documents - as for drop down selection, see http://www.gmayor.com/SelectFile.htm for a few ideas. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steve wrote: Hi, I have a client that wants to use the master document feature.
