Re: [libreoffice-users] Master document and styles.
Hi Michael, I can absorb those changes by loading the styles from his returned document into my template and then into the master. You could directly import all styles from one document to your master document. Import should overwrite the current versions of styles in the master document. Master document will take the styles, which are defined in the master document. If styles aren't installed in the master document it will take the styles from the first document, which contains the (new named) style. So: If nobody creates new styles or renames old styles all will work well in the master document and all will be formatted by the styles defined in the master document. Now, what's the best way to change all the sections other folks sent me and make sure that all the styles are consistently synchronized across all documents? Do you need also the normal document in this style? Then open the documents and import all styles from your master document to the document. Let overwrite the old styles. Hope I understood your problem well.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Master document, internal link between documents and pdf
Hi Michael, Can this work for page numbers too? (Using the original document as an example), adding to the reference for "WAGO" in the "C" document something that may say something like see "WAGO on page XXX" where the XXX is where the finished document will put the reference to WAGO? Connection will be created to the page number also. If you insert a reference, you could chose different behaviors on "Refer using": Page Number (unstyled) Page number (styled) Chapter Referenced text "Above"/"Below" I always chosed "Referenced text" for German Base-Handbuch. This book is created by a master document. All main chapters are separate documents with different sections for content and title/Toc. There are many references from one chapter to the other in the master document. Same master document works since 12 years with changing chapters for every new version of LO. I only set a link to the different chapters in my file system. So I don't need to change the link inside the master document.

[libreoffice-users] Master document and styles.
I have a master document which has a number of styles in it. I have a "Page/Section" template that I distribute to others to create sections for inclusion into the master. One of those people (correctly) fixed a mistake of mine and sent it back. I can absorb those changes by loading the styles from his returned document into my template and then into the master. Now, what's the best way to change all the sections other folks sent me and make sure that all the styles are consistently synchronized across all documents? Also, maybe this is a good time to suggest that the exporting and importing of styles be done using an external file, i.e. XML or JSON, would be really a nice feature to have. (Part of that suggestion is driven by, what i see as, the inability to absorb into a template document the styles from the master document. Or so it seems.) I have also come to the opinion that the "smart" (*cough*) way for me to keep them all coordinated is to copy every style used in the docs into a new one with some prefix like "my" and use it on all styles in the doc such as "my Default Paragraph" Thanks for everyones time. -- << MCT >> Michael C Tiernan. http://www.linkedin.com/in/mtiernan Non Impediti Ratione Cogatationis Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.
