Templates and master documents are essential for my fiction writing. For me, each chapter (or in my brand new project, each scene, at least for now) is its own file, so master documents are very practical. As for templates, different editors have different manuscript formatting requirements, so all I have to do is create the master document with a template that's formatted the way a particular editor wants it, using the same style names I used in the sub docs, and I have the required formatting without having to go through and change the formatting of each chapter document before I submit. I wish I could search and replace in a master document, but I know that's beyond the scope of what master documents are meant to do, so I can deal with it. For short fiction, the master document is not needed, but the template trick is still useful. I just have to apply the template to the actual document instead of the master document --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
