A master document tip!
Hi everybody,
I've gotten so much good help from here, and first of all thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past. Now it's my turn--I found out something in Word 2003 that makes it very easy to create master documents that automatically update, since the utility in Word that is supposed to do this doesn't seem to work that well. What you can do is go to the insert menu and click on "File." Once you select the file, click on the little arrow next to "Insert" and select "Insert as link." That inserts an AutoText field that automatically updates whenever you press F9. So, you can maintain separate documents that will automatically update in one big file. This is probably here somewhere, but I thought it was too cool not to mention, and it took me a long time to figure it out, so maybe I can help someone save some time. Thanks for listening!
