Is there a way to divide a Word up into chunks ? (sorry !)

[EMRhelp.org]

When a client comes to visit me, I have a word file with the clients
name on it. When (s)he comes in I want to make a new "section" and
makes some notes in this thing.

I guess I want "sections" such that I can have some sort of indexing
of these visits ? Maybe even be able to HIDE / SHOW ?

Uh.. any tips suggestions ?

Hi there.

You already have a folder with your client's name on it. I have mine
set up with a folder for the client's name. Then within that folder I
create another folder and I name it Correspondence, then I go back to
the original folder and create another folder called Memoranda, etc,
etc., for Pleadings, etc. You could probably open a folder called
Notes and then create your notes document and save it in that folder
with the date on it.

I hope this has been helpful to you.

I want just one Word file. I want to subdivide one .doc file.

Is there a way to have one Master Word Document, and have all the
other documents synch to the master ? ie. I make new .doc files but
they automatically take their place in the bigger document ?

First figure out whether what you want is a database or a Word doc.
And make it a bit more specific what you want. If you can write down
exactly what you want, and not use terms like "some sort of"
or "maybe" then you will be closer. It's mighty hard to be sure you've
got what you want when you try to implement "maybe."

There are lots of things you could do. You could just add a new
section. You could use the Master document feature. You could
add some macros to do things like inserting the date, putting
in standard formatting, yada yada.You could have the titles of
the sections collected in a table of contents, then all you have
to do is regenerate the doc each time you add a section.
Word has an index feature where you indicate words that get
put into the index. And so on.

But until you get your exact requirements nailed down, you are
going to be in an endless chain of "yeah but that isn't exactly
what I want." As long as what you want is "maybe" this
and "some sort of" that, nothing will ever be exactly what
you want.
