How do I create/declare a master document in Word and then create subDocuments of it? I am trying to create multiple pages with the same layout, but with different values in some fields in the document. I am using VB.net. The project is to create load tags for different jobs with various numbers of skids, each needing a Load Tag.

Thanks for any help,

Dave

Use a Word template file.

There's nothing like master- and sub-document terminology within MS Word.

Create template[^], as Richard MacCutchan[^] mentioned, then use it to create new document based on this template. Please see:
Documents.Add Method (Word)[^]
How to: Programmatically Create New Documents[^]
