If you have included index entries in your subdocuments, put the

insertion point on the page in the last text section where the index is to

go and create the index.

Editing a master document

After creating a master document, you may want to change its

appearance or contents.

Changing the appearance of the document

You can change the styles in the template as your project develops. Do

not make changes to styles in the master document or in any of the

subdocuments—make those changes in the template.

To update the master document (and all of the subdocuments) with

changes to the template, just open the master document. You will get

two messages: first, to ask if you want to update all links; and second,

if you want to apply the changed styles. Answer

Yes

to both of these

messages.

Editing subdocuments

You cannot save edits made to a subdocument from within the master

document. Instead, you must open the subdocument, either by double-

clicking on it in the master document’s Navigator, or by opening it

from outside the master document. Then you can edit it just as you

would edit any other document. Just one rule: if you make any changes

to the styles while editing a subdocument, you must copy those

changed styles to the template so they are available to all of the

subdocuments and to the master document.

If you change the contents of any subdocument, you need to manually

update the table of contents, bibliography, and index from within the

master document.

Cross-referencing between subdocuments

The methods described earlier in this chapter are all most writers will

need when using master documents. However, you might need to

automatically update cross-references between subdocuments. This

section describes how to do this.
