I think I saw a recent commit that addressed this kind of problem. > I'm actually wondering if there's really need for child documents to have > their own Document>Settings (their own preamble), independent of the > master document's settings. This has been discussed many times. Being a child document isn't an intrinsic feature of a file. It could be a child of many different documents, and also sometimes be used on its own. I have many such files. That said, it wouldn't be terrible to have some option that meant: Always treat this document as a child, and do not attempt to use its own settings. But then it's not clear what that means if it isn't a child.... Richard
