Sorry, even if I knew what your question is, I don't have an answer because
I don't use Master Documents. However, you may need the reason I don't more
than you need an answer. "Master Document" is a term of art in Word
referring to a "feature" that not only doesn't work but also destroys
documents. The consensus (with the limited exception of Steve Hudson) among
those offering advice on these newsgroups is that using the Master Document
feature is a good way to destroy your document. It can destroy parts of your
document that you are not even working on! I think John McGhie said it
succinctly when he said that there are two kinds of Master Documents: Those
that are corrupt and those that will be corrupt soon. See
http://www.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm for information on the
Master Document feature and workarounds. See
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm for more
information on what goes wrong, and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm for ideas on how
to salvage what you can. See
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/magazine/technical/masterdocs.doc for
Steve Hudson's instructions if you are willing to follow them very
carefully.
