RE: Master document

[Darren Barefoot <dbarefoot -at- mpsbc -dot- com>]

Good afternoon,

While there's no doubt info on this in the archives, here is the short form:

 * Do not use the Master Document function.
 * Use the "RD" (referenced document) field instead. Build a TOC and Index
accordingly.
 * As for chapter numbering, we use macros and templates provided by the
smartest people on the Mediterrenean seaboard, Tech-tav. You can learn more
about them at www.tech-tav.com.
 
I expect Bill's not writing many of his own manuals these days, but you
never know. DB.
