Hi :)
Blimey! I can't believe how many different ways of doing it have been
suggested and how many answers this thread has received. Brilliant work
everyone! I learn tons through this thread and really enjoyed it.
Many thanks and regards from

Maybe it doesn't work in Linux,

The only thing that never worked is the 'Find', for some reason ;-)

I think i'd first try just dragging a couple of the relevant files into an
empty document and see if that is enough to do what you need. I thought
that was all the Master Documents did but i guess there is a lot more to it!

Whether using Tom's suggestion of drag-'n-drop or yours to 'Insert file',
both would bee tedious when several files are often involved, but

You need only have the documents opened in LO and working on multiple

Well, Maurice quoted from my mail, so I'm pretty sure he did receive it.

Nope, it;s the standard way these mailing lists have behaved for a long

I suspect that Paul's post below has not yet arrived in Maurice's
