Printing linked documents from a master page

I have a "master" page Word document into which I have inserted links to "chapter" Word documents. When I edit the master page, I see only icons for the linked documents as well as a little but of ancillary text. This is exactly what I want in an editting mode. But when I attempt to print the whole work (all chapters in the linked order), Word only offers to print the single master page with its icons.

Can I use the master page to cause the whole of the text work, and, if so, how?

AFAIK.. to print all the contents, in the Outline view enable Expand Subdocuments and then print.

If Expand Subdocuments isn't working for you, that could be a sign of a corrupt master document. Actually, master documents have been prone to corruption for a long time; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/RecoverMasterDocs.htm.

Make backups now, before you do anything else. Store those backups on a separate disk.
