Not sure what is so difficult about the process you are rejecting.

File SaveAs ...
new name

Move to the beginning of the page you want to keep.
F8 (extend)
Ctrl-Home
Delete

Move to the bottom of the page
F8
Ctrl-End
Delete

File Save

.... or ...

Select the page you want.
Right-click in the selection and choose Copy
Click on the new file icon
Right-click and Paste
Save your new file.

.... or ...

Select the page you want.
Right-click in the selection and choose Copy
Go to your desktop or any file and right-click then Paste
and you'll get a document scrap which you can rename with the extension
".doc"

Just tried it and I get a whole lot of garbage that probably means something
to a printer, but it isn't something I can read. I'll try that one again
later and play with options to see if it clears it up.

That's essentially what I've been doing, but I was hoping to get around it.

If you're getting garbage, then you didn't change the printer to
Generic/Text Only.

Here is a macro that copies a selection to a new file:

Sub CopySelectedToNewDoc()
Selection.Copy
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Maxey\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dot", NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
Selection.Paste
End Sub

You will have to modidy the path for the template to your arrangement.

The problem is that the concept of a page does not really exist in Word. It
is a transient thing governed by a variety of conditions and comprises
separate elements including headers, footers, footnotes, drawings etc. If
the 'page' contains only text then the following macro will do the job, but
if it comprises multiple elements, the results will be unpredictable.

Sub CopyCurrentPageToNewDoc()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Select
Selection.Copy
Documents.Add Template:="Normal"
Selection.Paste
End Sub
