Chapters

I know in Word you can create sub documents from a larger document and you
edit subdocuments it automatically updates itself in the larger document. How
can someone do the opposite? For example, say I write 5 chapters. Chapters
1,2,3 and go into Book One, and Chapters 3,4,5 go into Book Two. (Note:
Chapter 3 is in both books.) How can I edit Chapter 3 and automatically have
it update in each of the Books? I basically want to combine documents yet be
able to edit them seperately so they update in the master documents.

BTW Word wastes a perfectly good basic keyboard shortcut on Master
Documents, Ctrl-backslash -- I just made it the keying for "Accept
Change" (and don't move to the next), a button I'd already put on the
QAT.

Hmm, if I had any need for a "Reject Change" button, I'd put it on
Ctrl-pipe.

Well, since master documents don't work reliably one could argue that any
keyboard shortcut assigned to any command involving master documents is a
waste. :)
