I'm generating a 'master' document (although NOT with Word's inbuilt Master Document functionality) from approx 400 other documents. Each document is quite intricately formatted, and this formatting is important to the readability of the documents. When I run my macro to compile the master doc, I lose a great deal of this formatting. Inserting a continuous section break at the beginning and end of each document to be inserted has NOT solved the problem, and neither has adopting a copy and paste approach instead. The precise problems I'm facing are
- Each document contains bulletted text. Some of these entries have been indented further than they should be. (Now, if worst comes to worst, I can write a function to correct this problem on a page by page basis (all the pages have exactly the same headings, etc, which I can use to get to the bullets and correct them), but it'll be a pain and require that I review the documents afterwards to make sure it worked correctly
- Each documents finishes with a heading 2 line. Immediately following this line, there is always a series of instructions formatted as outline numbering
[heading 2]1.13 - How is this process performed if you can be bothered?[/heading 2
1 For each document received from the bamboozling section
1.1 Spill some coffee on i
1.2 Draw a small picture of a frog on it
[bullet] The frog must be gree
[bullet] But not kermi
1.3 Shove it in the bi
2 Go home for the da
There's space above and below each entry, etc, but that's how it should appear. Anyways, this is getting totally fubared, the numbering is sometimes starting from 0, sometimes not, sometimes the last entry has been de-numbered, first line indents are being added to the bullets for no good reason, etc
Those are the two problems I really must sort out. Like I say, inserting continuous section breaks at the start and end of each doc to be inserted has not worked. I'm on the verge of switching to acrobat for the whole project
Many thanks in advance for your assistance
