5.4 Using MasterDocuments
If you are workingwith a very large document(such as a book),you might find it
easierto manage the book with a masterdocument,ratherthan keeping the book
in a single file. A masterdocumentenablesyou to quickly apply formatting changes
to a large documentor to jump to each subdocumentfor editing.
A master documentis a Writer documentthat servesas a containerfor multiple
Writer files. You can maintain chaptersor other subdocumentsas individual files
collectedin the master document. Master documentsare also useful if multiple
people are working on a document.You can separateeach person’srelevant part of
the document into subdocuments,allowing multiple writers to work on their subdoc-
uments at the same time without the danger of overwritingeach other’swork.
