One of the greatest perks of working in a master document is the ease with which you can rearrange subdocuments. Start by opening your master document and reviewing the order of the subdocuments you've got listed. Here are the steps:
Open the master document.
Figure 25-10. When you rearrange subdocuments, the indicator line shows you where the subdocument will be placed when you release the mouse button.
Tip - Don't accidentally bury your subdocument
Be sure to place the indicator line outside another subdocument boundary before you release the mouse button. Otherwise, Word will create a "nested" subdocument, placing the subdocument you just moved inside another subdocument. If this was not your intention, drag the subdocument icon to a new location outside an existing subdocument area.
Tip - Work with multiple subdocuments
You can select multiple subdocuments by pressing and holding Shift while clicking the subdocument icons. If you want to select noncontiguous subdocuments, press and hold Ctrl while selecting the subdocuments you want to move.
