Master Document: Separate Style Formatting in Subdocumnets
My book reading says that when you incorporate a subdocument into a
master document that the style formatting gets overridden when you view the subdocument in the master document. I would like to know if it is possible to have each subdocument preserve its own style formatting outside the header/footer? Why would you do this and create inconsistent formatting? Glad you asked. The reason is I need to incorporate documents as appendices that need to be formatted as they originally were done. The inconsistency is not an issue --but rather a benefit as it shows they did come from a different source. However, I would like to be able to page number them (footer) consistently with the master document. So if Document 1 defines NORMAL as using Times New Roman and Document 2 defines NORMAL as using WIngdings, I would like them to show up as that in the master document. |

Master Document: Separate Style Formatting in Subdocumnets
No. The whole purpose of Masterdocs (which I would never advise anyone to
use) is to create consistency. If you want Windings in one part and TNR in another, then you must use appropriate styles. Normal is not a style I would recommend either: I would not even recommend basing any style on normal either. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...

In a situation like this, a better approach would be to create a PDF from
each document and combine them in Acrobat (or other PDF-creation softwhere). Or use graphics instead: using SnagIt (www.techsmith.com), you can "print" each appendix to the SnagIt printer, which will capture each page as a picture, which you can save in any desired graphic format; then insert one picture per page (with appropriate wrapping to allow it to fill the page) to create your appendix. -- Suzanne S.
