No, there's not. The Master Document feature was actually designed to bring
things together for printing, not pull them apart :-) Also, a MasterDoc isn't
reknowned for being the most stable construct...
The object model does have a way to open each subdocument in a master
document, then save it as a separate file. You'll find this in the example on
my website for "pulling apart" a mail merge document (separate file for each
record). You can test how well that works on a document resulting from a
mailmerge. I can't see off-hand any reason it would not work, but I've never
tried it, either, so have no idea what effect mail merge might have on the
master document. I do suggest, however, that you choose a CATALOG type merge
to avoid getting any stray section breaks.
