How do I extract pages from a Word document?
I have a grant application from a state organization that needs to be divided
into sections in order to make the workflow more manageable. I'm spoiled by the Adobe Acrobat function of extracting the pages from a document that I want to separate. Is there no such function in Word? It should be easier than cutting the text/tables I don't want. I even tried creating a new document and inserting only the pages I wanted, but unless the document is already bookmarked, this doesn't work easily, either. Am I missing something? |

Hi hvoran-
One option may be Master/Sub Documents. You might explore the use of that feature.

Thank you so much for your reply, CyberTaz. I apologize that I was not more
clear in my question. This is a document that I did not create...I am just needing to divide it into smaller parts (saved as separate documents...schedule A.doc, schedule B.doc, etc.) for our grant writing team fill out the forms individually, then merge the document back together once it is finished. The authors weren't necessarily consist in the use of heading styles, as there are some sections that are forms and others that require narrative responses, so I don't think the Master/Sub document option will be consistent in how it divides the document. Thanks again, though, for your quick response. :-) Thanks again. "CyberTaz" wrote: Hi hvoran- One option may be Master/Sub Documents. You might explore the use of that feature.

Hi Hvoran,
If you want to separate an existing document based on pages this technique may be helpful to you. http://support.microsoft.com/default...us;306348&FR=1 ========= "hvoran" wrote in message ...

Use the appropriate one of the following macros:
Sub splitter() ' ' splitter Macro ' Macro created 16-08-98 by Doug Robbins to save each page of a document ' as a separate file with the name Page#.DOC ' Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Pages = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropert yPages) Counter = 0 While Counter Pages Counter = Counter + 1 DocName = "Page" & Format(Counter) ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Page").Range.Cut Documents.Add Selection.Paste ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=DocName, FileFormat:= _ wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _ True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _ False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _ SaveAsAOCELetter:=False ActiveWindow.Close Wend End Sub or to split into by sections rather than pages, use: Sub splitter() ' splitter Macro ' Macro created by Doug Robbins to save each letter created by a mailmerge as a separate file. Dim i As Long, Source as Document, Target as Document, Letter as Range Set Source = ActiveDocument For i = 1 to Source.Sections.Count Set Letter = Source.Sections(i).Range Letter.End=Letter.End-1 Set Target = Documents.Add Target.Range=Letter Target.SaveAs FileName:="Letter" & i Target.Close Next i End Sub -- Hope this helps.
