Each chapter of a book, say, can be a separate document. That's one way I've used them. But it can also be useful to keep a collection of math macros in a single document, and then include that (as a child) when you need your favorite macros. I've got a few documents like that, for different purposes. I am clearly underutilizing LyX’s capabilities! I’m actually working on a book project and have been meaning to look more seriously into setting up a master document. Will do so now… -chris -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
