Re: WORD '03 Master Documents / merging documents

["Barry Campbell" <barry -dot- campbell -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Peggy,

In my experience, Master Documents doesn't work very well.  Actually, that
functionality is pretty grievously broken.  See. e.g,
http://addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm for details.  There are links
in that document that purport to have workarounds for when you absolutely,
positively have to use the feature, but I would use Extreme Caution.

As for merging two documents - I have used "Compare and Merge" with
relatively short documents without too much difficulty; I have no idea how
well it would work for a long document.
