Master docs

Gentlemen et al,
Can some kind soul point me towards a definitive description of Master Docs. I have returned to 'Word' after a number of years in the DTP wilderness, and docs that I know and love (aks Steve Hudson's MVPS descriptions) seem to be no longer available.

I have used master docs successfully before, so I can probably muddle my way through, but a refresher would be useful.

TIA

This site should refresh your memory.

If you've used it before, you probably already know the caveats. Here's a site with a minority opinion: http://news.office-watch.com/t/n.aspx?a ... 6&zoneid=8

Although master docs could be used for the business documents I deal with, not a one of my clients uses them. So I have no experience using it, except to break up large documents. It's probably the coolest way.

Thank you all. So its Plan B then :-)
