Concepts
It is important to keep the design of a document consistent. Consistent documents
are easier and more pleasant to read. Styles allow you to keep the formatting in
your document consistent. A style is a collection of formatting commands under a
given name so it can be easily accessed.
When inserting images, charts, shapes, SmartArt, or tables into a document, it can
be of great benefit to insert Alternative Text along with the object so that there is
context for the image if it is unclear to the reader. Ensuring this is consistent
throughout a document will improve the formatting and readability.

ICDL Advanced Word Processing Lesson 6 - Creating Master Documents
The Outlining tab provides buttons used to create, insert, and manage the master
document and its subdocuments.
Steps
From the Student Folder, open MASTER.docx.
When you insert a subdocument into a master document, the subdocument text
appears in Outline view. You can then use buttons available on the Outlining tab
to collapse and expand the subdocument.
Word inserts a Next Page section break before each subdocument you insert and a
Continuous section break after it.
If the master document and the subdocuments contain duplicate style names with
different formatting, the subdocument text adopts the master document formatting
when inserted into the master document. For example, if the Heading 2 style is
left-aligned in the subdocument but centred in the master document, all
subdocument text formatted with the Heading 2 style will be centered in the master
document.
