In Word if you use linked graphics  instead of embedding them (which we
recommend), a 400 page document would probably be only 3-4mb anyway.

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.

        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
