I've done lots of multi-chapter guides using Word, but I've always relied on the "old" method of creating separate chapters, each in its own file and then creating a "master" file using RD and TOC field codes to generate a Table of Contents for the whole manual. It always seemed like the newer "master doc" methods were unreliable and unpredictable, so I stuck with this older method. Aside from idiosyncracies like not supporting long file names or spaces in the file names, this older method has continued to work for me.

But now I'm wondering, what's going to happen when I have to create a .pdf of the manual to post on a website. I've used Acrobat to distill manuals that were all in one file, but not across multiple files. Have I hit the end of the road for being able to make do with Word's RD and TOC "master" capability?
