how do i move selected pages to a new word document
I have created a long document (100+ pages) consisting of several chapters
and want to remove the chapters from the main doc into their own separate documents (i.e. 12 chapters would be 12 separate documents). I checked on-line help and read about selecting thumbnail pages (no problem) which could then be separated from the mother doc by clicking on Move Pages to New Document in Page menu. I have only Page Layout, thus the Move...New Doc is nowhere to be found. What am I missing here??? |

how do i move selected pages to a new word document
If each chapter is in a separate Section (that is separated by Section
Breaks), you could use a macro containing the following code: Sub splitter() ' splitter Macro ' Macro created by Doug Robbins to save each letter created by a mailmerge ' as a separate file, retaining the header and footer information. 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 Set Target = Documents.Add Target.Range = Letter Target.Sections(2).PageSetup.SectionStart = wdSectionContinuous Target.SaveAs FileName:="Letter" & i Target.Close Next i End Sub -- Hope this helps.
