You can also right click each linked file in the Navigator (after converting 
the master doc to a single document) and uncheck the Link check box. When you 
have 32 subdocs as I do, that's a bit tedious. But for smaller documents, it's 
not so bad.

<Jean thumps head> That never occurred to me! Thank you! I just 
tried it, and it worked as expected.

Unfortunately, I can't save the result as a .ODT file; OOo only 
allows me to save it as a master doc (.ODM) file. However, I 
discovered that I could change the file extension to .ODT after 
saving as .ODM, so that's not a real problem. (My reason for 
wanting to have it as .ODT is that a different extension is 
likely to confuse some other people.)

I will make a note about this "break links" technique in the 
master docs chapter. Thanks again!

Now to check whether breaking the links fixes the randomly-wrong 
cross-references problem...
