I have several long Word documents (50 to 100 pages) that I would like
to split (save as) into many separate docs (files).

I have a Heading 1 at the start of what I would like to be the start of
each new doc.

Is there an easy way to do this please?

An Applescript (preferred) or VBA solution would be welcome.

It can, but it would be easier if you had started a new section with each
Heading 1. Too late for that now?

In order to make new files, you have to tell us how you want to name them.
Suppose the original document is called "Document Blah.doc". Do you want the
separate docs to be called "Document Blah 1.doc", "Document Blah 2.doc",
etc. ? Or do you want the separate documents to have the names of the
Headings that begin them? Or what exactly? Presumably they should be saved
to the same folder as the long doc? There's always a possibility that a doc
of the same name already exists in that folder, necessitating a complicated
routine for re-naming them. IMO, it would be safer for the script to create
a new subfolder of the same name as the long doc (but without ".doc"
extension) or however you want (and the routine can check just _its_ name),
and make the separate docs within that.
