You could also look into Master documents and Bookmarks!

If you go here and look at Master documents, you could create one Master Document, and add the other documents for the build into it, as sub documents.

If you then look here at Using Bookmars and fields, you could add 1 field to each sub document - then just update the Master document, and then it will update all the subdocuments in one go - while still being able to open the individual documents!



If you were to set the Master document as 'Hidden' then no-one but you knows it exists! (to open it - either put a link somewhere before you make it hidden, or go to the folder in WinExplorer and type the name in the address bar at the end of the path)

Hope that helps.

thanks bird sounds lik a possible idea, had a look at the link.

can you link one subdocumnt to many matser documents or vice versa.

I see how you mention changes should always be made at the matser document so they register, not sure how linking one subdocument to many master documents would work with editing
any thoughts?

You would link the sub documents to the Master document - then you only make changes to the Master document and the sub documents will update from there!

Use the bookmarks in each subdocument.
