Thanks, it worked correctly.
The next problem is when the document is inserted into the master,
page numbering is lost. How are page numbers enabled in master
documents?

Other than care in selecting to use the same template for all
components of a master document I can make no suggestion. I have
never needed to use the master documents structure for any of the
documents I have edited/written, irrespective of their size
(sometimes several thousand pages) and have only dabbled
inconclusively with master documents.

Several times in the past, I have looked at using a master document
for a large document of mine. However, in each case there was some
difficulty I found with using a master document, that made me think it
was just too much trouble. In all of those cases, using a "flat"
document was the best choice for me.

The immediate problem is solved. The template for the master document
didn't have a footer with the page number. Adding them to the template,
it used, turned numbering on in all the files, saving a lot of time.
Knowing how something works is much more important to me, than long
winded instruction on how to use the program, especially when they don't
match what I'm trying to do.
Just because styles are powerful, doesn't mean they have to be hard to use.
A list of style attributes, and a diagram of how they propagate would be
most useful. Does such a document exist?
