Importing data for subdocuments
You can create subdocuments by inserting other files into your master document.
Modifying subdocuments
You can modify subdocuments, but with features. This tip contains some of these features. You can modify
subdocuments using the same tools that you have used to create a master document and subdocuments. This tip
describes how to use those tools to modify subdocuments. How to create a master document, see The Master Document View, and Creating subdocuments for information about
creating subdocuments.
Creating subdocuments
Every master document consists of regular document stuff and links to other documents. Those links can be
used to pull in the information from the documents to which the master documented is linked.
The Master Document View
Word master document enables you to cross-reference items among several documents; create indexes, tables
of contents, and lists that span several documents; easily assign consistent page numbering, headers, and
another formatting across multiple documents; etc.
A book is ideally suited to the master document feature. Each chapter can be a subdocument, and the elements common to the entire book can be contained in the master document itself.
