Hi, all!
I have a master document (was formated with many styles)
and i want to create a sub-document from one heading.

I tried to do that by folowing the Word's instructions:
1. View the Master Doc in "outline view", then
2. select a block text that begin with a line is formated
in "Heading 1" -
3. clik on the "Create Subdocument" on outline toolbar

After that the Master doc shows the block with subdocument
icon -- seem OK (event when when i collaped the master
doc: the hyperlink in the subdoc show the fullpath of the
file contained the subdoc).

But the trouble here is: When i saved the Master doc,
closed it. Then opens again the Master Doc, and then click
the "expand subdocument" button. there's a error. Word
tell me that "the subdocument XXX is missing. Do you want
to expand the master document without this
subdocument?" !!!!

Or when i open the the xxx the error message is "the file
could not be found: checks the spelling of the name of the
doc...""
 
Hi Phan,

Have you checked whether the sub-document is actually present
in that path, as a separate file? Can you open it?

Click to expand...
