Master Documents - Still problems in Word 2013?

[saxobob]

Hi all,

I want to start using Master Documents - all the comment on them on various forums seems to be from 2009 and earlier and says, emphatically, Don't Use Them - an oft repeated line is Master Documents are in one of two states, Corrupt or Just About To Be Corrupt.



I wonder, I'm using Word 2013 - are the issues people talk about now fixed? There are lots of How To's but mostly on info websites which just re-hash the steps required. I'm looking for thoughts specifically about the newer versions of word, 2010, 2013 & 2016 to see whether the problems have been ironed out.

Thanks
Rob
