Enclosed is Master View 1.1.  It is an upgrade from versions 1.0 and 1.0a.
Main improvements lie in a slightly tuned interface which allows one to add
documents to the end of a view as well as to the beginning, the ability to
start a document in a view with any heading, rather than just "Heading 1"
styles and still have heading numbering continuous across documents 

	(for instance, where before a set of two files might include:

	1. First Heading
	2. Second Heading
	-----------New Document---------
	3.1 First Sub-heading of Second Heading

	now one can specify that the second file starts with Heading 2 and get:

	1. First Heading
	2. Second Heading
	-----------New Document---------
	2.1 First Sub-Heading of Second Heading

	which is as intended.)

Page numbering and table regeneration is more accurate due to a forced
repagination before grabbing the end page number of a document, and the
ability to handle more than one table in any document.  One may "Combine"
a view into one large document, so long as Word's resources permit.
Finally, an installeation routine was added and several minor bugs fixed.
(for more details see below, Changes and History)

Master View automates a well-known work-around to the extremely buggy and
crash-ridden "Master/Sub Document" feature of MS Word 6.0.  Specifically,
it uses RD fields and a pagination algorithm to allow multiple
sub-documents to be gathered into one large document printout.

Master View is offered free of charge, and as open freeware.

Master View 1.1 allows one to create long documents in MS Word, much
longer than Word can handle on its own.  More specifically, documents with
lots of pictures or equations or other OLE links in them will quickly bog
Word down.  Since Master View allows you to break this large document into
several smaller documents (which Word can handle without too much
difficulty), the speed one has become accustomed to in smaller documents is
restored.

Also included in release 1.1 is Master Tag 1.1, which allows
cross-references across files in a Master View environment.  Master Tag is
not specifically linked to Master View, and so may be used separately of
Master View (if you really want to do this kind of stuff by hand).  A bug
in grabbing tags from a file which was not already opened was fixed, and
the ability to restrict the list of tags in a file to any of several
pre-defined types has been added.

Both macros are accessed by opening the MstrView.DOT template in MS Word
6.0.  They may be installed using the MasterInstall macro included in
MstrView.DOT.  More detailed instructions are included in the template
itself.

This is offered as free-ware.  The code for the macros is included (they
may be "compiled" using Word, but they must be distributed in non-compiled
form).  A more "legal" copyright is included in the template itself.

Changes and History
Ver  Date   Changes in MasterView
1.1  7-25-  Can now delete views from documents, either from
     95          a single document (the "current" document),
                 or from all documents in a view.
            Updates all tables in a file rather than just
                 the first table found.
            RD field management fixed (old version was
                 issuing an incomplete EditFind statement,
                 which caused a sporadic error on files
                 where strange find options had been set.)
            Repagination forced so that we get the real page
                 numbering while linking rather than an
                 incorrect number (bug most obvious in large
                 files with lots of linked images, where the
                 background repagination just can't keep up
                 with us!)
            Allows headings greater than level 1 to be
                 continuous between documents in a view.
                 Also, changed field text to "1" instead of
                 "Heading 1" to accomodate international
                 versions of Word (taking advantage of an
                 undocumented feature ...  hope this works
                 on all versions!).
            A bug in WordBasic forces heading numbering on
                 when a heading number attribute is set.
                 This messes up documents with no heading
                 numbering.  I now have a routine to check
                 if heading numbering is on or off before
                 turning it on (WordBasic doesn't provide an
                 easy way of doing this!)  This check,
                 however, will not work in international
                 versions where the heading styles are not
                 named "Heading x", so if you are running a
                 non-US version of Word, you'll just have to
                 make sure "Link heading numbering" is
                 turned off for documents which do not want
                 numbering on.
            Can link in a forward direction rather than just
                 in reverse (you can open the first document
                 of a view and establish links going towards
                 the last document by using the "Add ..."
                 button in the "Next Document" box of
                 Document ViewPoint.
            Code cleaned up a bit.  Common functions split
                 off into "MVShared" macro page.
            Added "Combine View" feature.  This allows one
                 to combine all the documents in a view into
                 one large file which might be easier to
                 transport.  Hopefully some day we will be
                 able to do the reverse as well, but no
                 promises.
            Added MasterInstall macro, which automates
                 installation by employing any of the three
                 possible methods for installation of the
                 entire Master View package.
            Leaving Master ViewPoint with a changed
                 description (you haven't clicked on "Save"
                 or "Clear" yet) prompts if you want to save
                 the description changes or not.
1.0  7-5-   Added Master Tag to allow tagging between
a    95          documents in a Master View.
            Changed page numberring linkage method to use
                 "selinfo" rather than type in a field, get
                 the result, and use that.
            Keeps selection in already-opened documents.
            Should close all documents it opens, except for
                 the "current" document when "Exit Master
                 View" is selected from the Document
                 ViewPoint.
1.0         Original Version.  Rather crudely links several
                 documents.  Allows updating and printing of
                 views.
