Master Document
I'm writing a book with multiple chapters. I want to create tables of
authorities and an index without having to combine the chapters into a single file. I find a master document section on the outlining tab but there is nothing in help to explain how it works in Word 2007. What's the easiest way to what I want? |

Avoid Master Documents. See "Creating a Table of Contents Spanning Multiple
Documents" at http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=148 for the general principles of using the RD field, which can also (I believe) be used for the index and TOA. -- Suzanne S.

Is this the sort of thing that Publisher is supposed to be able to do?
The relevant sections of the How To Use Office books seem to indicate that Publisher is mostly for making brochures and maybe webpages. Is there anything in Office (comparable to FrameMaker) that's _intended_ for assembling books out of individual chapters? On Jan 17, 12:36*pm, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Avoid Master Documents.

Publisher is not suitable for books that need to have TOCs, indexes,
footnotes, or other such refinements. Publisher can about handle running heads and automatic page numbers, and I believe it now has section breaks that allow you to restart numbering, and it does many other things very well, but for a complex book, no, it's not your best choice. In fact, I wouldn't advise it for any document with more than a dozen or so pages (though I do have some larger ones) because it's not that easy to navigate from one page to another. Not to mention that it's not designed for continuous text flow. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...
