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
other 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.
