Before you go any further with this, do a moment's Googling on why you
shouldn't be using a master document at all: in brief, it's a cludged bit of
technology that has never worked. As someone else put it: there are two
types of master documents -- those that are corrupt, and those about to
become corrupt.

As a matter of urgency, back up the components of your thesis; then choose
another approach.

Hi,

I am using Word 2002.

I am trying to format my Master document (PhD).
The headings of 1 subdocument loose their numbering (in the master
document)
every time I close the master document - although I followed the
instructions
and edited all the headings in the master document (as opposed to the
subdocuments).

Could somebody please suggest why that would be the case?
So far I have tried "clear formatting" and reapplied the styles - they
come
up with numbers, but once I save and reopen the master document the
numbering
is lost again.

It is strange that it is only in 1 subdocument.

Also, can anybody tell me why the styles come up with Caption "Char char
char"
I have turned off the keep track of formatting changes option.
