Master documents

OOo Help covers the basics of using master documents, or see “Work with large or complex documents” on page xviii, or for even more information see Chapter 13, “Working with Master Documents” in the Writer Guide.

It is possible to insert cross-references across subdocuments but the names of the references must be typed in rather than selected from a list.

Use Insert > Fields > Other > References.

A macro to help insert references to headings, including references across documents that will be subdocuments in a master document, is available in a document called OutlineCrossRef3-fr-3.zip available from http://ooomacros.org/user.php#113812.

Note

There is no way to have a landscape page in a subdocument remain as a landscape page when included in the master document. The workarounds are to have the landscape page be part of the master document rather than a subdocument or to have the entire subdocument as landscape.
