Master Documents

Large documents can be difficult to compare, edit and merge. It is easier to create each chapter or section as a separate document, and then combine them into one Master Document.  Master Documents combine several files, or Subdocuments into one file. Master Documents simplify the task of getting the page numbers right for the different sections.

 

A Master Document can be created in the Outline View.
