atw: Re: Office 2007 - Master documents

You can possibly gamble on compiling them into a single document.  I am
currently editing 28 MB files in 2003 that were created in 2007.  They have
not locked, corrupted or in any other way fallen over, so if you don't have
outrageous graphics, you may be able to just do one big document.  That's
what I would try first anyway.

Subject: atw: Office 2007 - Master documents



Hi everyone

 

I’ve just joined this list and am based in New Zealand working as a
technical writer for a software company. I’m currently producing a large
manual in WORD (using Office 2007), and wonder if anyone has any pointers
about creating Master documents. I’ve worked in FrameMaker for many years,
so I’m finding WORD a bit of a grind.

 

I basically have a dozen or so chapters ( approx 30-40 pages in each one)
and want to be able to create a TOC that has consecutive numbers across the
whole manual…is there any other way of achieving this apart from creating a
Master document with sub-documents (the chapters)? I can’t find anything
about Master documents in the WORD help file???

 

Look forward to your response J

Kindest regards

Carin
