Master Document Issues to Resolve
I am using MS Word 2003 on a server where our users are to access a moastrer
document broken up into subdocuments. We have a customized template, which is also on the server, applied to the master doc and need it to cascade to the subdocuments as they are created. The subdocs created all point to normal.dot on my client. Also, is there a wat to cascade the autonumbering down to the subdocument level? Right now it only picks up the numbering at the subdocument level. Thank in advance for any assistance! Bill |

Master Document Issues to Resolve
Hi ?B?QmlsYmVydA==?=,
I am using MS Word 2003 on a server where our users are to access a moastrer document broken up into subdocuments. We have a customized template, which is also on the server, applied to the master doc and need it to cascade to the subdocuments as they are created. The subdocs created all point to normal.dot on my client. Also, is there a wat to cascade the autonumbering down to the subdocument level? Right now it only picks up the numbering at the subdocument level. Thank in advance for any assistance! Bill Before you dig yourself into this too deeply... Have you read the warnings/information on word.mvps.org about Master Documents? I get the feeling, from reading your message, that you're going to try to do things with it that it wasn't designed for. And this means you could be in for some nasty surprises... The numbering should be defined and linked to styles in the template.

It's a disaster waiting to happen, MS knows about it, and either can't or won't fix it. I use it, but ONLY for print-times. I think ther'es stuff about it he http://www.word.mvps.org If not, try Googling for it. It's a buggy feature that can't always do what it's supposed to do and rather quickly finds the worst time to crash all your subdocumnets on you without your even knowing it right away. HTH Pop` |
