Using Microsoft Word Master Documents

by Steve Hudson
This chapter from Steve's work-in-progress on advanced Word usage offers a thorough explanation of Master Documents and how to use them. In particular, this chapter helps you:

  • Minimize potential for trouble
  • Minimize your efforts to produce large documents or easily
    reuse source material

  • Enable extremely large document handling with minimal risk
  • Collect multiple documents into a single, consecutive sequence
    of pages with simple cross-referencing

  • Concentrate on writing rather than document management in
    complex document development situations

  • Help control situations where tools, such as document
    converters, demand situations where multiple slave files are
    required to a master document

To create a master document

To create a master document (master document: A "container" for a set of separate files (or subdocuments). You can use a master document to set up and manage a multipart document, such as a book with several chapters.), you start with an outline and then you create new subdocuments or add existing documents to it.
Decide on a location for your documents

1. In Microsoft Windows Explorer, designate a folder that you can use to store your master document and subdocuments.
2. If you want to use existing Microsoft Word documents as subdocuments, move these existing documents into the folder
