delete whole pages from doc
First you need to know that a "page" doesn't exist in a Word document until
that document is presented for display (either on the screen or on printed paper). That presentation is determined by the printer driver and could appear different on different PCs or the same PC using differnent drivers. See: http://daiya.mvps.org/wordpages.htm You could select the page you want to keep and run this macro: Sub ScratchMacro() Selection.Bookmarks("\Page").Range.Copy ActiveDocument.Content.Delete ActiveDocument.Range.Paste End Sub mopnodemopvo wrote: i only want to save and use one page from a doc. how do i delete all the other pages? -- Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

Word doesnot "see" pages, only paginates as per default printer and page
break commands. There are several ways of doing what you want, firstly save the document as a new document (just in case), go to the start of page you want to keep, Ctrl+Shft+Home, this will select all that is above your page, delete, goto the end of the page your want to keep, Ctrl+Shft+End, to select the rest of the document, delete, save. Or you can use the GoTo function, have the cursor on the page you wish to keep, GoTo (Ctrl+G), type \page in the Enter Page Numebr box, OK. This will select all that is on this page, then you can copy/paste into new document.

The OP did not seem to think that way. Have a nice day. "Jan Groshan" wrote: or......just highlight the portion you want to keep, ctrl-C (copy) and ctrl-v (paste) it onto a new document page.
