[Call me Jose'']

I have about 4 dozen documents that cover how-to's. I am wanting one document
that would allow someone to look through that would point to my other
document. I thought using the Master Document would be ideal. However, I am
unclear if there is a better method. I don't really want to add the document
to the master document. However, the way I am understanding Master Document
that appears to be what I will be forced to do.

I am also hoping to have the ability to search and find based on keywords.

Any advice?

Master Document is most probably _not_ what you should touch for that
purpose, especially if we are talking about the typical "4 dozen
documents" (that have not been created based on the same template, for
starters).

In what form (DOC, PDF, HTML, ...?) do you want the end result? And
where (your local HD, company file server, Intra- or Internet)?

If you put all DOC files into one folder, then a single, say, HTML file
can contain links to them all. Or a PDF (or even a Word file).

If you really want to compile one big document with all content in it,
then you might even copy everything together, do some restyling; or use
INCLUDETEXT fields.
