seperating chapters
How does your friend define "chapters" of a book? If he or she is using a
numbered style for each new chapter, simply applying that style to the appropriate paragraph should do the trick. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rita" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your response. As far as she tells me every chapter is in a
different document and the style and page numbering follows through out the process. Now she wants to change the last chapter into two but it will not allow her to do so.

What does "It will not allow her" mean?
One approach is to rename the existing file with the filename of the new chapter, and delete from this new file everything that doesn't belong in the new chapter (i.e., about half the text).

(That is, "Save As" the new filename, delete the unwanted half from
this new file, and delete the other unwanted half from the old file.) On Jun 9, 8:26*am, grammatim wrote: What does "It will not allow her" mean?

seperating chapters
Thank you for all the responses. "it will not allow her" she didn't
explain very well what she meant was the document could not be edited afterwards which means it was write protected. Any way I have done just as you suggested and e-mailed her the two separated chapters. "grammatim" wrote: What does "It will not allow her" mean?

Rita,
This might be a bit too late, but the easiest way I have found is to use the "Headings" for making a new chapter. Your friend is wise to make each chapter a new file, but then what I do is to combine all of the individual chapters together and make a book at the end of the process. Using a heading of say 1 for the new chapter works well for me then when you go through and make a Table of Contents it picks it right up and you don't have to worry about making new pages each time you update your work, you just update the Table of Contents and it does it autotmatically (at least in Word 2007). The other great thing about using "headings" is that if you have sections in your article or chapter, you can make them a different heading like 2, 3,4 or 5. Again, perhaps late, but something to definitely think about. Also, when you are done, put the document in Adobe's Acrobat Standard (or one of the other products that Adobe has for the purpose) and you can put it into a document that your person can read in Adobe Acrobat Reader so that the reader can't change what you have written. The product works for Microsoft Word 2007 and is very fast and efficient, plus people can't steal your work if you make it secure. "Rita" wrote: Thank you for all the responses.

seperating chapters
To create another file, you can just use the Save As dialog box, and then
delete the text that you don't want to keep. Are you saying that there is also a combined document referencing all of the separate files? If so, that combined document might be created with INCLUDETEXT fields. You can check this by displaying field codes (Alt+F9 can be used as a toggle). To include your new document, you would then use Insert | File (or Insert tab | Object | Text from File in Word 2007). Select the file you want to include, and then click the arrow on the Insert button, and choose to Insert as Link. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rita" wrote in message ...
