Hi Pop,

Yeah, I posted it that way so you could rebutt if you
disagreed strongly. I know even MS says to be careful
about it. I've usually had fair successes with it,
and I did leave out to make a backup copy of everything
first, so your response was worthwhile. I don't edit a
LOT from the Master Document, but I do use the Master
Document to contain the files, organize them for
similarities, and so forth.

No worries :-)

For my part, if all the documents are OK (no damage), the
connection to the files (network!) isn't acting up, and the
whole thing's not too big... Then just editing a little in
the text has never caused problems.

Good way to break them, though, is moving things around,
especially between sections (sub-docs). Or trying to change
the order of sub-docs.
