A Template for the Master Document?

English

#1

In a master document setup, the master document is usually the template for all chapter documents. After I change any style in the main file, when opening a chapter file I am asked to update the styles from the main file.

I only want the master document to hold the chapter files together. The styles should be loaded from a separate template.

Is it possible to create a separate template and assign it to the master document so that all chapter documents ask for updating their styles whenever the separate template is changed?

EDIT: Seriously is it not possible to change the template of a master document?

I don’t think so. This idea is so complex it might soon make my head ache :slight_smile:

More head aches than the current master document implementation? :slight_smile:

Please don’t, nooo, it’s hurting.
Actually if you are determined enough you could write a script which would swap out the entire styles block from the file (or merge these or whatever you fancy). So the question is: Are you enough of a programmer?

#5

In the styles dialog (F11), top right icon has menu with “Load styles”. Use that to replace all the styles in file.

#6

What happens when the style changes in the other document? Do I have to load them manually again?

#7

Unfortunately yes. On the bright side maybe you are able to write a macro which would do it for you?
