[comp.sys.mac.apps] MS Word Printing Problem: Linked Documents

jdm@boulder.Colorado.EDU (James D. Meiss) (06/29/90)

	I have a book with 6 chapters, each stored in a separate
file. I link them,using the procedure described on page 168 in
the manual:
	1) Each Chapter has the next chapter as its "next file"
	2) Chapters 2-6 have "0" in the "Number Pages From box"

	The problem is that Word (4.0B) doesn't properly number
the pages when I print only one of the files. It always starts Chapter
2 from page 1 if I print only Chapter 2. I haven't printed the entire
book yet from the beginning to see if page numbering works in that case.
	An even more interesting thing happens when I create the table of 
contents at the beginning of Chapter 1:If any of the later chapters are 
also open, then the "page number box at the bottom of the window is 
updated to indcate the correct page initially, but try closing some of the
documents, and then opening them again: you get some totally wild
page numbers. Such fun!
	
	Is this a bug, a feature, or perhaps there is some
an undocumented trick?
