Splitting a Word file into several files
Hi,
I have a word document (actually a rich text format) file that is several pages. I want to separate this into several files. Is there a program that will do this? Thanks -- Chuck W |

Umm.... yeah. It's called Word. There are a variety of approaches one could
use, depending on whether the original formatting needs to be retained. Assuming it does, one approach: 1. Open the original file. Choose File - Save As and give it the name of the first file you want to create. Delete everything you don't want in that file, then save/close it. 2. Open the original file. Choose File - Save As, and give it the name of the second file you want to create. Delete everything you don't want in that file, then save/close it. Etc. Or... if you've set it up using Heading # styles, you might find that the Master Document approach would give you what you want (assuming Master Document works for you... it doesn't always work for everyone, especially in earlier versions of Word). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "ChuckW" wrote in message ...

Herb,
i have a 10 page document so this is impracticle. There are programs out there that do this automatically based on pages. Programs that will take a 10 page document and create 10 separate files. This is what I was looking for. -- Chuck W "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Umm.... yeah. It's called Word.
