Re: Report within a Report

['Technical Writing Plus' <doc-x -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

Couldn't you just use headers/footers and reference the appendixes in the TOC? 

This method does not use any of the really nifty features of Word, but I suppose that it would get the job done for this particular iteration of the report. 

Example:

header for main report pages says 

'Report on xxx, DATE, etc.##, Page x'

and then the Appendix A header says

'Appendix A: Report from DATE on xxx, etc.##, Page x'

and then the other appendixed reports would be named Appendix B, Appendix C, ... , and these would also be mentioned in the TOC.
