Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer
When one or more subdocuments are changed after creating an index, the
indexes in the master document should also be updated. To do this, click the icon
Update (as shown to the left) on the Navigator for master documents and select
the entries to be updated from the submenu. Likewise, references work in a
Master Document and its subdocuments, in the same manner a in subdocuments
themselves “when these are defined in the documents involved. For example, if
figures in a subdocument are numbered from “Figure 1” to “Figure 10 ”,
figures in the next subdocument can numbered starting at “Figure 11).
A Master document, together with all its parts, can be saved as a combined OpenOffice.org
Writer document. To do so, do the following:
1. In the Navigator, click the Toggle icon.
2. In the Navigator list, double-click "Sections".
3. Right-click a section name and choose Edit.
4. Select all of the sections in the Section list, and then click Remove.
5. Click OK.
6. Choose the command File > Export. and select the normal OpenOffice.org Writer text
format in the list box File type.
Printing a master document with all subdocuments, texts, and indexes is the same as printing
any other OpenOffice.org document. Simply use the print direct icon on the Standard toolbar
or via File > Print dialogue.
To check if a link exists for a single subdocument or all subdocuments, position the mouse
pointer in the Navigator on the corresponding entry. The path information for the original
document appears in a small popup window. Should the file is no longer be found at the
original path, a warning File not found is shown along with the original path and the entry is
displayed in red in the Navigator.
Warning: Graphics inserted in a sub-document and anchored "to page" will not
be displayed in the master document even though the graphic always appears
correctly in the subdocument. According to the closing entry on issue 50669, this
is expected behaviour. To quote:
“It's a limitation of the OpenOffice.org master document concept. It is not
possible to use reference to a certain "page" defined in a subdocument because
the master document reorganizes the page flow, page number and references to
collate all documents together. This way, the absolute reference to a page X in a
sub doc is lost in the master doc. The graphic loses its anchor reference and
simply disappears.”
WORKAROUND To avoid this problem do the following:
a) Set the anchor to "To Character" or "To Paragraph" and
