Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about macros to be able to use the macro.
When I tried to use it I got the following lines in red:

Do While .Execute(FindText:="#*#", MatchWildcards:=False, Wrap:=wdFindContinue, Forward:=True) = True
Selection.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete

regardless what I replaced the "#*#" with.
My special character is \. I don't even know what I should writei n the macro: "#\#", "\" or simply \

I haven't found FindText in the "VBA for Dummies" for Office 97 that I have so I think I should save my file
as Word 2007 first and then use the macro.
I have Office 2007 (home edition) but I am not familiar with it yet, at least not to use macros.

I am afraid I'll have to remove the pages manually. :-(

Regards
Tico

Use a macro containing the following code where you replace the #*# with the special character that you intend to use.

Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="#*#", MatchWildcards:=False, Wrap:=wdFindContinue, Forward:=True) = True
Selection.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete
Loop
End With

Hi All,

I have a big MS Word 97 file.
I am looking for any method that let me remove
automatically some pages which I can mark
using, for example, a special character as the
first on each page or in any other way.
I would be also satisfied if I could automatically
skip the pages whilst printing the file.

I can use the MS Word 2007 to do it, if necessary.

Could anyone help me please?
The matter is urgent.:-)

Regards
Tico
