Once you have created an outline in your Word document, you can work with it to create a master document and subdocuments.
This feature works the same in all modern versions of Microsoft Word: 2010, 2013, and 2016.
- In Outline view, select Show Document from the Master Document group of the Outlining tab.

- Insert subdocuments into the master document from the Outlining tab. In the Master Document group, select Insert and then locate and select documents to link.
