Back by popular demand, we have Steve Hudson's Master Documents masterpiece. This guide to dealing with the trials and tribulations of Master documents is virtually guaranteed to save whatever fragments of sanity you may have left as you deal with Master documents. This attachment (appropriately in Microsoft Word format) will, in Steve's words, help you with Master Documents by letting you:

• Minimize their potential for trouble
• Minimize your efforts to produce large documents or easily re-use source material
• Enable extremely large document handling with minimal risk
• Collect multiple documents into a single, consecutive sequence of pages with simple cross-referencing.
• Concentrate on writing rather than document management in complex document development situations.
• Help control situations where tools, such as document converters, demand situations where multiple slave files are required to a master.

As Masters and large documents have many points in common, there are also some useful tips and tricks for dealing with common large document problems.
