Default Styles in Master doc with Sub docs

I have designed headings with outlining that work fine when I apply the
styles in the Master Doc to the sub docs. However, after saving all docs and
reopeining the master doc & expanding sub docs, several of the headings are
no longer there. I have to reapply the style

Most of the people posting here don’t know much about master documents,
and thus may not have any help to offer, because:

IncludeText Fields can partially substitute for the Master Document
feature—for an introduction to them, see he

Word experts generally advise combining long documents into one file, if
possible, and you will find more information on controlling those big
files he

Thank you for the information. I figured out the problem but these links
will be useful in the future. Unfortunately I cannot combine the chapters
into one doc - there are too many graphics and word dogs when editing.
