With some spare time on my hands and a curiosity about Master Documents
stirred up by a previous post, I read the Word FAQ article on Master Docs,
which also linked to Steve Hudson's article on Master Docs. I said all that
to simply explain where I ran into the term "rebuilding" a document.
I've used Word almost every day for years now. I've done a bit of VBA, and
I've even learned the difference between direct formatting and using a
style. Sometimes I do work on larger docs with lots of graphics and tables,
and yes sometimes these docs just refuse to show up to work one morning!
So what's this about "rebuilding" a doc? Is this simply forcing Word to
internally rewrite all the pointers? What does the typical user of the
"glass typewriter" do that would require a "rebuild"? How can I change what
I do to avoid needing a "rebuild"?
