Do I have to edit a subdocument from within the master document?
I have set up a master document with subdocuments (chapters). I now need to
make some changes to one of the chapters - do I have to do this from within the master document or can I edit the subdocument and then somehow automatically update the master? JC |

Do I have to edit a subdocument from within the master document?
Hi JC,
You don't _have_ to do this from within the master, but you may do so if you like. Please note that you cannot edit a subdocument within the master if it is open separately. Changes made in a subdocument that is open separately are _only_ reflected in the master document when a user saves the subdocument - you cannot update the master document to show its most recent state. Success, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

Do I have to edit a subdocument from within the master document?
Hi ?B?SkM=?=,
I have set up a master document with subdocuments (chapters). I now need to make some changes to one of the chapters - do I have to do this from within the master document or can I edit the subdocument and then somehow automatically update the master? You should never edit a sub-document from within the master document, unless absolutely necessary. This can cause damage to both the master and the sub-documents. It's much better to open the sub-document directly in order to make the change. When you open the Master Document later, any changes should update automatically over the links.
