What an interesting life I live. I decided to create a master document
for the first time, and that was a total exercise in frustration.
So, I began with the help file:
To Create a Master Document
1.
Do one of the following:
2.
If you are creating a new master document, the first entry in the
Navigator should be a *Text* entry. Type an introduction or enter
some text. This ensures that after having edited an existing style
in the master document, you see the changed style when viewing the
subdocuments.
3.
In the *Navigator* for master documents (should open
automatically, else press F5 to open), click and hold the *Insert*
icon, and do one of the following:
4.
Choose *File - Save*.
Step one says do one of the following. So far, so good. I go to step
two. I open a text file and type some text. No navigator appears, so
per step 3 I press F5 (suggested in step 3, but since step 2 fails to
work I am now doing things in step 3). Guess what - there is no
INSERTicon to press and hold. So step 3 also fails.
Now since step 1 says do ONE of the following, perhaps step 4 will
work. It does, sort of, but that is no different than saving any other
text document. So, I think step 4 also fails.
So, following the help steps to create a master document is a total
failure. Can some please tell me HOW to create a master document?
