Default Selecting a large number of pages

I often receive very largeword documents (over 2,000 pages) of data tables.
I usually try to break it into multiple documents. It takes several minutes
to select 800 pages by scrolling. Is there any trick to copying and pasting
large amounts of data into a new document or a "split document" function?

Are you clicking at the beginning of the desired selection, dragging the
slider on the scroll bar, and then pressing Shift+Click at the end of the
selection?

That definitely made it go faster. Thanks for the hint. Never learned that
shortcut!

It depends.

How are the page breaks happening?

Hi Suzanne,

I noticed you answer a lot of question in this forum and was wondering if
you could look at mine which about two below this one. It's one about print a
document in Outline view. I have spent an entire day and still cannot get it
to print right.

Thanks!
