Word 2000 in a Nutshell

Creating a New Subdocument

Create a new subdocument using the Create Subdocument tool on the Outlining toolbar. The document is created just below the insertion point or so that it encompasses any selected text. Be sure to select all of the text that should become part of the new subdocument, because it can be tricky to move it there later. Figure 17-3 shows a new subdocument created for Part 1 of my outline. I selected the heading that reads “Part 1” and used the Create Subdocument button on the Outlining toolbar.

Figure 17-3. Creating a subdocument

The Heading1 paragraph at the top of the subdocument box is used as the name of the new subdocument file. The document icon at the top of the subdocument box is used both to move the subdocument around in the master document (by dragging it) and to open the actual subdocument (by double-clicking it). Both of these procedures are covered later in the chapter.
