Sorry, I don't have an answer because I don't use Master Documents. However,
you may need the reason I don't more than you need an answer. "Master Document" is a term of art in Word referring to a "feature" that not only doesn't work but also destroys documents. The consensus (with the limited exception of Steve Hudson) among those offering advice on these newsgroups is that using the Master Document feature is a sure way to destroy your document. It can destroy parts of your document that you are not even working on! I think John McGhie said it succinctly when he said that there are two kinds of Master Documents: Those that are corrupt and those that will be corrupt soon. See URL: http://www.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm for information on the Master Document feature and workarounds. (This page also has a link to Steve Hudson's chapter on how he gets Master Documents to work.) See URL: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm for more information on what goes wrong, and URL: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm for ideas on how to salvage what you can. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
