I'm just starting in with Master Docs but will start to look into this a bit more seriously now that I've settled into the new job. I have an overwhelming need for Master Docs to work.
I, for one, would appreciate any wisdom anyone has with Master Docs and workarounds. Kevin DrC On 12/5/06, Scott Rhoades <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
My latest irritation has been converting a master doc to a single doc. It pulls the sub docs in as links instead of really making it a single doc. But there's now an issue and it looks like my concerns are being addressed. At some point, when I can find the time, I might put together a document (either as part of the master docs chapter or a separate document) about working around the "glitches." Right now, though, I've found myself swamped again and unable to get to some of my side projects, like OOo. >>> Jean Hollis Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/04/06 2:50 PM >>> TJ Frazier wrote (in another thread), > * Master documents: is anybody else (everybody else?) as tired > as I am of all the little glitches with master docs? A couple > were mentioned in the Template How- To. There are others. I have quite a list of "glitches" with master docs, and have filed several issues. Some of the older problems have been fixed, but many have not. The biggest problem for me is the random errors in cross- referencing within a single file when it is a subdoc in a master doc, but not when it is a standalone file. This has been such a big problem that I have given up attempting to compile the Writer Guide using a master doc; instead, I pull all the chapters into one big file. That is a bit time- consuming, but no more than trying to find and fix all the wrong x- refs, and I'm more confident that the final result will be okay. -- Jean
