Late last week, I asked about how to safely extract a document collection from the evil that is Word's "master document" feature. I got a range of replies. A detailed answer from an authoritative source can be found at the Word MVPs site:
How to recover a Master Document (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm).

(For some reason, the content of that page doesn't appear in Apple's Safari browser, but pops up just fine in Internet Explorer. Must be that "if software = apple then implement rnd (bug routine)" feature in Microsoft's implementation of the HTML language. <g>)

Thanks to Hilary Powers, MaggiRos, Jean Hollis Weber, Jonathan West, and anyone else I missed. (If I didn't reply personally, please send me a copy of your note off-list; evidently, it never arrived.)
