how can you seperate a text by every 600 words?

[ben]

i was wondering how i can go about highlighting 600 words without doing it
manually (ie highlighting an estimate and then checking how many more i can
do) this is neccesary so that i can put business files onto my ipod so i can
send it to others

Press Alt-F11 to display the VBA screen. In the 'Immediate' window, type:

activedocument.Range(1, activedocument.Words(600).End).Select

That will select the first 600 words in the document. Bear in mind that
Word's notion of "word" is a trifle odd - punctuation is counted
separately -- but it should be close enough for your purposes. To select the
next 600, use:

activedocument.Range(activedocument.Words(601).Start,
activedocument.Words(1200).End).Select

And so on. You'll get a non-harmful error if you go beyond the end of
document.

I'm pretty sure you can use the iPod just like an external hard drive--why
do you need to worry about 600 words?
