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
