Using the File|New menu to create sub-documents based on a rich set of standard templates, then linking these subdocuments into a master document on Outline mode, is an easy and quick way to create component-based standard documents.
But in the end we found that most staff preferred to use a single document rather than have to deal with the difficulty of a master document.
Editing a single document in outline mode, using template where each component is under a level-1 heading seems to achieve much the same result.
I'm hoping for a higher level of acceptance for the standard unit outline and workbook structure using the single document approach.
