Default Master Documents using Share Point Portal Server

Hi all

All files are stored on a Share Point Portal Server, this means:
- all .doc-files
- all graphics (because it hast to be printed in a CMYK-separated way, we
use .bmp)


Ouch! BIG files! When you insert the graphics, make sure that only the
link is stored and not also the graphic.


maybe, under the circumstances, inserting the actual files might work
better. Or inserting a placeholder and providing code to substitute the
real graphic in at "run-time" (read: when compiling the whole document
into one).

I would recommend against using Master Documents at all - for the
reasons in the links provided above


Agreed. And since the SPS will take care of one of the main needs of
using Master/Subdocuments in the first place (by enabling concurrent
editing of individual parts), there's even less need for adding that
extra layer (of trouble).
