Barbara, in your review of the Writer Guide chapter on master documents,
in
the section on splitting a document into master and subdocs, youleft a
note
to say that you did not see the "separated by:" list on the Name and
Path
of
Master Document dialog box; all you saw was "template".
I have now tested the instructions in that section on Windows XP,
Windows
7,
Mac OS X, and Ubuntu 10.10. On Windows (XP and 7) and Mac, the dialog
box
shows a "separated by:" list, as described; however, on Ubuntu the list
was
called "Styles". I'm trying to work out what you could have done to give
a
different result. Perhaps you'd like to try it again?
Actually, if you have selected "Use LibreOffice Open/Save dialogs" in
the Options, you'll see "separated by:" in Name and Path of Master
Document dialog on Ubuntu, too.

Oh. Er, yes. Silly me. Thanks! That also explains why some other dialogs
looked different from what I was expecting. And it's a good reminder to
all
of us to check/tick/select/enable/whatever that option.
Hal
Sorry, this one got lost in the flood of mail. It didn't occur to me that
this option was involved, I've fixed it now. I don't know if all the dialog
differences I saw were from this, but I don't think all of them were in any
way related to load/save actions.
That option appears to affect many dialogs that are not apparently related
to load/save actions (though they might be, from a behind-the-scenes
programming POV.
However, in this case it only affected the appearance of the dialog, not the
wording of the fields and drop-down lists (except on Linux), so you should
have seen "separated by" regardless.
Hal
Maybe "should have" -- but didn't. I've repeated the process with the option set, and it worked;
without the option, no separate files were created at all (unless they went to some temporary
location different from where I sent the master doc, which was to the Desktop for easy temporary
access). Not only the wording was different, but the underlying function.
