You are all scaring me. I've done all of my user guides with Word's
Master/Sub documents for the past year. I've had only minor issues to this
point. But now I'm thinking that I must be due for a major disaster! What
am I doing right?

Don't....every one (except Steve Hudson) who's ever tried that
...um..."feature" in Word has a horror story to tell. It's a horrible,
frustrating experience, and the language it's liable to provoke will have
your co-workers covering their ears! Do NOT utter the words Word and Master
Document in the same paragraph, much less the same breath, without making
the ward off evil sign.
