You have a more serious problem, I'm afraid. "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.addbalance.com/word/masterdocuments.htm> for
information on the Master Document feature and workarounds. (This page also
has a link to Steve Hudson's chapter on how he gets Master Documents to
work.) 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.

I divide my document into several subdocuments. Then I rename one of
subdocument files. So the hyperlink to this subdocument doesn't work.
Is any way to repair the hyperlink? I can't repair it as hypertext-edit
because the subdocument is locked.
