Hi Naomi
Thanks for your prompt and informative reply. You wrote: "Make sense?" -
Yes, I think so. You have certainly pointed me in the right direction.
I had quite a different idea of what a Master Document might be, so thanks
for your help. Actually, I am writing a novel and thinking that there might
be a role to play for Master Documents in that regard, either to organise
the chapters (each of which is a separate document) or to synchronise
several copies (backups).
Once again - many thanks,
James.

Hi James,
A Master Document is basically a collection of 'child' documents, with
arrangement and maybe some extra text or a table of contents/index.
The advantage comes when you've got two similar documents that need to be
kept up-to-date... you can put all the information in child documents and
create two master documents. Then you add maybe all the child documents to
one master document, but only 3/4 of the child documents to the other.
Whenever some bit of information needs changing, you change it in the
child document and it's automatically shown in both master documents. Make
sense?

I use Templates in Writer and Calc, so I understand that bit, but how
does a "Master Document" differ from a Template?
