Something like this requires some degree of advanced planning It's best if
all docs are based on the same template using the same styles, etc. If
that's the case you can effectively use the Insert File command & tick the
box for Link to File.

BTW: Your assessment of Master Docs is even more favorable than many would
offer - it is a notoriously unstable feature unless used in a very specific
& controlled fashion.

I have tried using 'Master Document' before but it seems unstable. Also, I am
not sure if it can link to the original so that the Master Doc can be
updated. I have had some success with Paste Special and File/ Insert as Link,
but neither totally satisfactory.Paste is reasonably stable but does not
allow more than the first page of a doc to be linked and has moved the text
outside of a flow chart. Insert seems to add extra tabs or the docs get
bigger than the original, but it is hard to see where.Also, some Bold formats
do not transfer correctly.
Ideas?

You can try creating a 'Master Document' - that will incorporate all the docs
into one without you having to 'paste' anything. The Word Help file has
excellent instructions - I've used it many times!

I am trying to assemble a large document from a series of individual doc's.
I
am trying to do it by copying and Paste Special. The doc's are all in Word.
All the single page doc's are linking ok but the multiple pages only show
and
print the first page when pasted into the receiving document. I have tried
to
select text but the Paste Special dialogue box does not allow the Paste
link.
I have been linking these doc's as files. Is this the right option?
