I set up a very simple test document with three chapters, each included in one master, each referring back to the master. All four documents (1 master, and 3 children) are all in the same directory. Question is, is opening only one child even supposed to show the whole table of contents for all the documents? I have no idea what I did to my older document which has this nice behavior.
Is it appropriate to attach screenshots in these e-mails, or files? Thanks. Maarten.
