Hi,
I'm sorry. I don't have an answer to your question because I don't use the
Master Document feature. I suspect you've asked the wrong question, though.
"Master Document" is a term of art in Word referring to a "feature" that not
only doesn't work but also destroys documents. The consensus (with the
limited exception of Steve Hudson) among those offering advice on these
newsgroups is that using the Master Document feature is a sure way to
destroy your document. It can destroy parts of your document that you are
not even working on! I think John McGhie said it succinctly when he said
that there are two kinds of Master Documents: Those that are corrupt and
those that will be corrupt soon. See <URL:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm> for more
information on what goes wrong, and <URL:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm> for ideas on
how to salvage what you can.

If I have a header/footer in one of the sub-documents, it replaces the
header/footer in the master doc for that section...can I get the master doc
header/footer to automatically replace the header/footer in the sub-doc
without using the header/footer same as previous option?
