I want to ask how to create master and subdocument in word.
I tried the example Subdocument in examples project, but it apears to only create empty word project.
If you have any link to a documentation where this is explained or explanation on how to achieve inserting subdocument inside a master document I would really appreciate it.

It should create a docx which contains a hyperlink to the subdocument. (Note you need to manually put the subdoc in the specified path).

If you click on it, Word should then offer to open it (with a warning).

If that works, you're all set to test the subdocument feature.

Following https://officemastery.com/master-docume ... ents-word/ in Outline View, just click the "Expand Subdocuments" button to see the content.

Note that people generally recommend against using subdocuments. See for example https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mso ... 5094e77734
