What I would try (it might be too late for this document, but keep it
in mind for future reference) is setting up a Master Document. This
is basically a contents page that has links to all the sub-files but
doesn't actually have them in the document itself. That way you could
have everbody working on their own section but it would all be linked
and formatted and organised through the master document.
Word help (F1 key) has plenty of information about it.
Cheers,
Bruce Walker
