Subdocument Header

[Frank]

Hi,

I am working with a Master document in Word 2002 and the subdocuments have their own headers. However, as part of the Master document, these headers do not show up. Can you help

Thanks

"Master Document" is a term of art in Word referring to a "feature" that not
only doesn't work but also destroys documents. The consensus (with the
limited exception of Steve Hudson) among those offering advice on these
newsgroups is that using the Master Document feature is a sure way to
destroy your document. It can destroy parts of your document that you are
not even working on! I think John McGhie said it succinctly when he said
that there are two kinds of Master Documents: Those that are corrupt and
those that will be corrupt soon. See <URL:
http://www.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm> for information on the
Master Document feature and workarounds. (This page also has a link to Steve
Hudson's chapter on how he gets Master Documents to work.) See <URL:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm> for more
information on what goes wrong, and <URL:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm> for ideas on
how to salvage what you can.

One long document. Or, follow the links I gave you.

You need to make sure that you "disconnect" the headers

from each other in the different documents. You do this
be clicking the "Same as Previous" button on the Header
and Footer toolbar.

Ok, so I tried using IncludeText instead of the Master document, and am running into the same problems: Headers aren't kept (yes, I do have section breaks), the table of contents has double entries, starts renumbering, etc.

Any ideas

Thanks,
Frank

Table of contents has double entries -- you are using manual page breaks
instead of formatting your headings to have page break before.

Headers are not brought in using IncludeText, generally.

Try using styleRef fields in your headers.
