Hello again!
It seems I've been getting the same type of response, and a lot of them,
regarding Master Docs in Word-- IT'S BUGGY! DON'T USE!
The problem is that leaving the documents in their respective chapters is
difficult, as I need to bring them together for purposes of consistency in the
headers, footers, page numbering and paragraph numbering (lots of paragraph
numbering--many different header levels!).
I appreciate all the warnings about Master Docs, but are there any possible
alternatives to dealing with each of the documents one-on-one?
Thanks again!
Graham
