Instead of focusing on parallels to Calc, let's think instead about this:
* You have a "family" of text documents, all related to the same
overall function.
* The documents are fully independent of each other for such things
as styles, page numbering, layout, and so on.
* When something causes you to want to edit or refer to one of these
documents, chances are high that your requirement extends also to
the other documents in the family.
* Currently, each of these documents has a different name, and you
open each in a separate window to achieve your objective.
* The proposal is to allow the documents to retain their
independence, but be contained in a single file that can be opened
with one action and makes the individual documents readily
accessible from each other to streamline the updating and/or
referencing activities you need to perform.
* When you have accomplished your task, you currently close each
document separately. With the new structure, a single action
closes all the documents.
Besides improving efficiency for the document owner, an advantage to this
structure is that the recovery information tracks together for all the
documents, making it less likely that they will get out of sync by being
restored to different points in your workflow.
Dotan, is this a reasonable statement of your intent here?
Barbara, that is _exactly_ what I had in mind, especially the third
and last statements. Please, add that info to the issue here:

Thanks!
You're welcome, and I'll do that.
