Breaking down document
Is there any way to break a large document down into a lot of smaller
individual documents w/out cutting and pasting and saving into a new doc? Thanks! |

I could do that without pasting but I don't think you're going to be able to
do with your set of rules. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "hornless unicorn" wrote in message ... Is there any way to break a large document down into a lot of smaller individual documents w/out cutting and pasting and saving into a new doc? Thanks! |

Breaking down document
What does that even mean... Grammer?
I don't have any rules. (????) I just need to get a couple of smaller documents out of a bigger document, and was wondering if there was some shortcut that I didn't know about.

Breaking down document
On what basis do you want to split the document. We are not mind readers.

Breaking down document
Before you go away completely disappointed, you need to accept that you have
not given us enough information to work with. JoAnn suggested that if you eliminate the possibility of copying and pasting or of saving as a new document, then there aren't really any options open to you. Graham is willing to help you with a macro if you will tell him how you want to split the document: Do you want a new document to start with each Heading 1? Do you want each document to contain x number of pages? If you don't explain what you want to do (and possibly why), no one can help you. Certainly those who have already tried will not be willing to try again. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you for explaining that, I didn't understand the " I could do that
without pasting" part, got it now. I just cut and pasted everything into smaller docs anyway... "Suzanne S.

I suspect what JoAnn was suggesting was that you can use Save As to make
numerous copies of the document and then delete the unwanted parts of each to create smaller documents. There are pros and cons to this. If the document is highly formatted, with headers and footers, custom styles, etc., you may well lose these when you paste into a new document. OTOH, deleting parts of a document can also cause formatting problems if you don't work carefully around any section breaks. -- Suzanne S.
