splitting a 250 page document into smaller documents

[Texas Tonie]

Hi,

I have a couple of 250-page documents that i want to split into smaller
documents of 20-30 pages for ease of use.

How can i do that easily in Word 2007?

Help much appreciated,

An anxious Texas Tonie

The simplest way is just to delete parts of the document and save the
remainder as a separate file, repeating the process by deleting a different
part of the original document each time until you have created as many
separate files as you require.

Because I tend to make a mistake that ends up costing me time and more work,
I save the whole file multiple times first. Then I go in and delete out
sections that I don't want. At least that way I still have an intact file to
fall back on. ;-)

(Can you tell I've learned this by experience?)

a Have you concidered cutting & pasting "x" pages at atime to a new blank
document?
ie open 250p document.
resize it.
Open a new document.
Select pages to paste.
Paste to "new" document.
Save new document, with approppriate name.
Repeat above steps until job is done.
Finally, close original document WITHOUT saving changes.
