RE: Compiling Manual in MS Word

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but I have read briefly
about a feature in MS Word 2000 where you can setup a master document and
include sub-documents, though this does sound similar to your "file->insert"
that you sound like you are trying to avoid.

Sorry, I don't know much more about the master document features of MS Word,
just thought I'd share to see if it gives you a theory to try.

Apologies if this is not what you are looking for, or has been already
thought of, or just plain off the mark.

Jason

Subject: Compiling Manual in MS Word



Hi All,

I have received a requirement of preparing a set of Installation manuals.
In these installation manuals, first few topics will be more or less same
and the remaining manual will include the details of specific application.

If I create one manual for the common topics and other manual for specific
module, is there any procedure in MS Word to compile the manuals in a single
manual except the Insert > File procedure (so that formatting part is not
affected ).

Or if somebody on the list has used some other procedure to achieve this
using MS Word 2000, please share.

TIA
Meenakshi

Have a Great Year 2004
