Moving subdocuments to a different folder
Hi all, Is there and easy was to move a master document and it's subdocuments to a different folder but have them maintain their relationships? Fairly easy question, but I can't seem to find an answer (I did google a bit, but I can't believe you need 3rd party software to accomplish this, surely there's an easier way?). -- vbevan |

Moving subdocuments to a different folder
NOT helpful, and does not appear to be correct.
First, you did not answer the question. It seems that the ANSWER should have been "No, Not without third party software. see link for more info..." Second, I had already located the reference prior to locating this site. Bad luck there. oh well. Third, the reference does not seem to be correct/accurate. The reference you provided indicates that: "For instance, let's say that you have a master and five subdocuments. If these are all in the same directory, you can easily move them to another single directory anywhere you desire. All you need to do is move them." I have a master document with 14 subdocuments (and growing) The master and all sub documents were created in a single directory, "P:\Documents\Master". The entire contents of that directory were then copied to "C:\MasterTest". The original drive, 'P:' was then disconnected (encrypted network drive). The master document opened, but all the links to the sub documents were broken, yet all documents were confirmed present.

Hi Dan
Dan wrote: [..] Second, I had already located the reference prior to locating this site. Bad luck there. oh well. so you are the OP? You/he wants us to guess everything you had located before posting here? It's good practice to _mention_ all the things you've already tried ... But not even the version of Word is mentioned ... Third, the reference does not seem to be correct/accurate. The reference you provided indicates that: "For instance, let's say that you have a master and five subdocuments. If these are all in the same directory, you can easily move them to another single directory anywhere you desire. All you need to do is move them." FWIW, I just tried a simple example like this (Word 2007, copying master and all subs from one folder to another). After opening the copy, the subs show us links (to the copied subs). But Pizza button | Print | Print Preview brings up a window asking to expand them -- voilĂ*. Anyway, I guess you are aware of the "standard disclaimer" concerning Master/Subdocuments? 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Moving subdocuments to a different folder
I'm assuming that was "tongue in cheek". But as far as currency is
concerned, I received exactly what I had asked for ($0.00) -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
