TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Paste the following into a Google search:
"Master Document" site:techwr-l.com
If that doesn't scare you enough, join the Word-PC list and search for
it there. Same with the Word MVP Site, which includes such classics as
"Why Master Documents corrupt."
Yes, Master Document makes it "relatively easy"... to destroy hours of
work.
There are a small number of Word experts who have used it successfully,
but I think they just did it to show off. :-)
HTH,
Dan
