In the Word document, move the cursor to an empty paragraph, and in the Styles list, select the appropriate style to apply to the blank paragraph (for example, select Heading 4). Then click the Create Subdocument button on the Outlining toolbar to create a word subdocument and enter the word subdocument name in the Word subdocument edit box. After you have successfully created a word subdocument, the word subdocument automatically saves the word child document as a separate file with the name you just entered. Repeat this step to create multiple word subdocuments, as shown in Figure 2008070922.
