Hello Jean

I am willing to have a go at rewriting Writer Guide Chapter 16 on master 
documents, but it will take some time. I do have to go through the whole 
process and find all the problems. It will be early next year and ready in time 
for LO 7.3.
I agree that once you get close to a subject, you do not see everything.
