Hi



I'm creating a Master and sub documents for our company's annual report and have the following questions:

The master and sub documents will be held by the Exec Team. Sub documents will need to be completed by people with access to different drives within our network.

How will this work? Do we email them out or will that break the link to the master document?

Looking forward to your replies!

Only use Master Documents if your intention is to destroy whatever you're trying to produce. See:

Here's another reply. Ditto.
Find another way, they are out there.
You can use IncludeText and RD fields. You can convert to pdf and use Acrobat to assemble your final document.

I second Macropod and Charles Kenyon in their comments on Master documents.
Also, fwiw, I've always issued documents as important as an annual report in .pdf, whatever I've been using to create them. There's a slight risk of tampering if you send an editable format, and a larger risk that your exquisite formatting in Word may give different results on the CEO's laptop :-}
