What is a Master Document?
A Master Document is a special Writer file which can contain (include) other documents and manipulate them. It can be recognized by its extension: .sxg for documents created by NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org 1.x and .odm for documents created by NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org 2.x.
The master document is particularly useful for large works (novels, instruction manuals, etc.) that require complex manipulations, for example the inversion of chapters.
"A priori," a master document can contain all types of bjects: texts, images, indexes, table of contents, etc.
