Master documents and IncludeText in Word 2003
Hi. I'm trying to manage a 1300-page document in Word 2003, Service
Pack 1. The large document comprises 24 smaller documents. Because of the widespread problems with Master documents in Word, I used IncludeText fields (with mergeformat) to pull the subdocuments into one large document. The trouble is that I'm noticing a bug with comments that are contained in the subdocuments: the word that the comment is immediately adjacent to in the subdocument gets omitted from the large document. That is, say that there is text like this in the subdocument, "This is a [Comment]test of Word documents," once it gets pulled in through IncludText, the text in the large document looks like, "This is a of Word Documents." The word "test" gets eaten up. I can replicate this with different subdocuments. I'm assuming that this is a bug with IncludeText. Has anybody else noticed this? Have the problems with Master document corruption persisted in the latest versions of Word? Is it even worth trying to use Master/sub documents? At this point, I'm thinking it may be less painful to just do a cut-and-paste job and live with it. And, I have to say, I'm feeling *extremely* nostalgic for the great Master-document handling in WordPerfect. Vikas |
