subdocument will not open - is it unrecoverable?
Hello, I just finished a chapter of work today and was reorganising the
master document and somehow word now thinks my subdocument is the master or something along those lines and will not open it. I can't open the subdocument on it's own. I keep getting the error message: subdocument cannot be inserted because it is the master document or because it contains the current master document as a subdocument. In my attempt to fix this I seem to have lost any mention of my subdocument within the master so now all I have is my subdocument file that will not open. Has anyone seen this problem or know how to fix it or at least recover the writing? I'd appreciate any help, as this will set me back days if I have to do it all again Thanks, Morag |

See if http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm helps.
