Hi Kevin,

Paste the following into a Google search:
"Master Document" site:techwr-l.com

If that doesn't scare you enough, join the Word-PC list and search for
it there. Same with the Word MVP Site, which includes such classics as
"Why Master Documents corrupt."

Yes, Master Document makes it "relatively easy"... to destroy hours of
work.

There are a small number of Word experts who have used it successfully,
but I think they just did it to show off. :-)

HTH,

Dan
