New Course - Managing Large and Collaborative Documents

Long documents, (books, theses, manuals, reports) can present problems that you won't find in shorter documents:

  • Longer documents are often more structured, containing several levels of headings, and the headings may be numbered.

  • It is more difficult to maintain a standard "look and feel" throughout a long document. Long documents are usually created over a longer period of time, and it could be easy to forget what formatting standards you were applying. Long documents may be created by more than one person, and each person might have elected to apply different formatting.

  • Long documents may contain components not found in shorter documents such as a Table of Contents, List of Tables/Figures, an Index, cross references, footnotes or endnotes.
