INTRODUCTION TO MASTER DOCUMENTS
A Master Document combines separate documents (separate files) so that the separate documents act as if they were one document.
For example, a book may be created by writing each chapter in a separate document and then creating a Master Document to combine the separate documents into one book. Different people may work separately on different chapters (on different documents).
Templates are extremely helpful with Master Documents for standardization, for saving time, and for having less chance of errors. (See Templates below).
