TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Because the master/sub doc feature has always been buggy. Another reason why
I won't work in Word. So far as I know, there is no work around, except
maybe recreating the master. And learn to do it quickly, since you will do
it a lot.
You wouldn't ask a programmer to use notepad, why ask a tech writer to do
the same thing?
