Re: [libreoffice-users] Master Document

Hi :)
Arrgh, that approach sounds like it might be worth creating a new
"master document" and then
1.  import the existing master document into that (in the way Cley described)
2.  go into styles and modify the important ones to rename them

3.  use Cley's advice to import the styles from the first sub-document
4.  again rename the important changed styles

5  repeat 3&4 for each sub-document

This almost certainly wont be perfect first time so don't aim to do to
much or be too perfect, just treat it as a test-run to find out which
styles need to be renamed.

Regards from
Tom :)
