pragan English	Need Help with the macro! Mar 7, 2007 Hi, I recently visited this post and this macro for splitting is very useful. Thanks for that. I have a question : Is it possible to search for a word and then split the document when it finds the word?For example, I have a document of about 200 pages and I want to split into individual files when it finds a word called "New ideas"...so this is how it looks Welcome ABC to the forum... soem text .............................. ...................... New ideas Welcome DEF to the forum... .......... ..................... ................ New ideas SO I want to split the pages when it reaches the word New ideas so I need to have the output as : File1.doc Welcome ABC to the forum... soem text .............................. ...................... New ideas File2.doc Welcome DEF to the forum... .......... ..................... ................ New ideas Hope I am clear in explaining the problem. I went thorugh the macro and I found some variable called Text so I typed my search word but it doesnt help me in getting better result. I am very new to these macros..Please help me out Thanks in advance!   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Simon Sobrero   United Kingdom Local time: 20:35 Member (2004) Italian to English + ...	Troubleshooting for idiots Apr 9, 2007 First of all, brilliant macro and thanks a lot, but this might not work if, like me, you like taking shortcuts, and have overlooked this simple yet clear instruction from W. Polmann: 2. Open ("File" --> "Open"!) your Word file i.e. don't open your Word document from anywhere else e.g. a folder/email!!!   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Hi Guys, Does anyone get a compile error on this line of the code: Set Range = ActiveDocument.Range(Anfang, Ende) I changed it to: Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range(Anfang, Ende) myRange.Select but the code doesn't seem to work properly for me... I'm trying to split a 200 page word doc into separate files... there are 10 batches to split...   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Lorenzo Cordini Local time: 21:35 English	run-time error '5174' May 20, 2008 Hello everyone, This is the macro I was looking for too and it's great someone has posted it here! The problem is that I cannot get it to work... I have the feeling it may have something to do with the way I open the document (I open MS Word then go to File > Open and select the document I want to split). With any document I try, I keep getting run-time error '5174': This file could not be found. Try one or more of the following: * Check the spelling of the name of the document. * Try a different file name. the debugger points then to the following lines: Documents.Open FileName:=origdoc, _ ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _ PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _ WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:= _ wdOpenFormatAuto Could anyone please give some advice? Thank you! Lorenzo   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated. Please add any additional comments or explanation (optional)
Lorenzo Cordini Local time: 21:35 English	it's moving! May 20, 2008 Hello again, it looks like I was opening the documents from the wrong location (a folder on my desktop). When I moved the files to the "My Documents" folder, it macro ran without any error messages.

AAlre Russian Federation	split word documents by number of symbols or words Jul 25, 2009 Hello I am looking for a way to split a large document by number of symbols or by number of words. E.g., instead of a large document of 270000 symbols I would like to have 10 smaller ones containing 2700 symbols each. If anyone has heard of a program or a Word macros that are able to do this, your help would be very much appreciated.

davehants United Kingdom	Splitting on page break??? Jun 27, 2010 Hello SysfilterMaker, I loved your Word doc splitter macro. I wonder if you could answer a small question. I am trying to understand where the splits occur. I am running the macro against a large word doc of 87 pages. I want to split the doc into 87 word docs each containing 1 page based on page breaks. Currently the macro doesn't quite get the splitting page breaks correct - it splits after about 3/4 of the page. Is there any way I can make it do it on the page break?

Tony M   France Local time: 21:35 Member French to English + ...	MS Word: is there a quick, easy way to split one file into several? Feb 27, 2011 I'm using Word XP under Window 7 on a Compaq laptop. I have one large Word .doc file that I've been working in, but it now has to be split out into several individual smaller files (and I must if possible have control over their filenames). The individual sections are separated by page breaks. I have done this before using a little Split/Join utility [Sobolosfot] I downloaded, but have since lost; however, I seem to recall someone once saying there was a way to do this in Word itself? Any advice gratefully received! I should just point out that my individual files have a variable number of pages, from 1 to several — this is the shortcoming with the Sobolsoft utility, in that it only splits files on the basis of a regular page count. I really need something that will detect page breaks and use these for splitting. I don't know enough about macros to understand how the macro above works, or whether I could modify it to work on page breaks?   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.
