Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer
Note: When using master documents, use the same template as a base for all subdocuments and the master
document itself. As a new Style is needed in the document, simply add it to the document template and reload the
master document so that the new Style can be applied to all documents automatically.
Use Page Styles to ensure that all subdocuments always start on a new page (i.e. always on a
new right page). There is a built-in Page Style called “Right page” that could, for
example, be linked to the Paragraph Style “Header 1”. For example, by assigning a page
break to the Paragraph Style “Header 1”, every “Header 1” will always be at the top of
a right page. If the Next Style is assigned to the Page Style “Right page” select “Left
page” instead and vice versa.
If the cursor is positioned in a text in the master document, the entry Text is shaded gray
because consecutive texts are always combined to one single text. New text can be inserted
between individual inserted documents. The new documents or texts are always inserted
above the current entry. However, one can easily change their order with Drag&Drop or with
the icons Move down and Move up.
Documents are inserted in the master document as protected areas. That means these
documents cannot normally be edited within the master document bu it is possible to
navigate through the document with the cursor and read them.
All indexes are created directly in the master document and, automatically, include all
subdocuments.
