RE: combining documents
Author: Kaiser    Posted: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 11:15:27 +0000
I have a dissertation is very long that I have lost the ability to spell check. I think that is because RM takes up so much memory. I can take the document to another computer w/o RefMan and I don't have that problem - although it could be because the second computer uses Word2000 instead of Word97. Anyway, if I split the document up into separate pieces, how can I combine it to get one bib without cutting and pasting? I think I would like to split it up permanently because it looks like I have a table and some text that got corrupted so I think Word may be having difficulties with the length of the document. I can imagine separating chapters to work on them then putting them back together at the end for the final print, but then I may still end up with the table corruption issue. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I would have a suggestion for you. There is the possibility in Word to use master document and subdocuments. It allows you to work with separate documents, but still use the same formatting and to create a common table of contents. You could have separate files for each chapter of your thesis as subdocuments and combine them in a master document. However, I have no practical knowledge how it works with Ref. Manager, although I think it must do. See more details in Microsoft help: Overview of master documents This topic provides reference information about: What is a master document? Creating a master document and subdocuments Working with a master document Working with subdocuments Protecting shared master documents from unauthorized access More information What is a master document? A master document is a document that contains a set of related documents. Use a master document to organize and maintain a long document by dividing it into smaller, more manageable subdocuments. For example, use a master document to organize chapters of a book. In a workgroup, store a master document on a network to share ownership of a document by dividing it into individual subdocuments that can be worked on simultaneously by different users. Return to top Creating a master document and subdocuments To create a master document, you start with an outline in outline view and then designate headings in the outline as subdocuments. When you save the master document, Word assigns names to each subdocument based on the text you use in the outline headings. You can also convert an existing document to a master document and then divide it into subdocuments, or you can add existing documents to a master document to make them subdocuments. Return to top Working with a master document In a master document, you can quickly change the top-level structure of the document by adding, removing, combining, splitting, renaming, and rearranging subdocuments. You can also create a table of contents, index, cross-references, and headers and footers for all of the subdocuments. The master document's template applies to all the subdocuments, so the entire document has a consistent design. Printing a master document is a fast way to print all the subdocuments without opening them individually. You use outline view to work with a master document. By default, all subdocuments are hidden when you open a master document, but you can expand or collapse subdocuments or switch in or out of normal view to show or hide detail. .............

I can confirm that Reference Manager works with Master documents as I have done it. You just need a blank sub document to take the bibliography. I have actually put something on our web if you would care to look: http://www.msd.ucl.ac.uk/demist/refmanhowto.htm -----Original Message----- From: "listmaster" "mailto:listmaster" On Behalf Of "T.Hatfaludi" Sent: 17 March 2004 07:45 To: RIS-List Subject: RE: <RefMan> combining documents Hi, I would have a suggestion for you.
