Prev: Reading a text file: Commas behave as separators

Using VBA I have been trying to create a master document with some
subdocuments in it.
A shortened version of my code appears below.
When I run it, the result looks fine but for one essential feature: Viewing
in "Outline view", "Show document" (I think it is called) the subdocuments
appear nested (third inside second and second inside first) instead of
appearing sequentially.

What am I doing wrong?

Best wishes
