Re: Using VBA to split a document into sections

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Colin,

If the split should occur somewhere other than exactly at the 250th
character, what determines where it is?

Also, from your second pararaph, I assume that you don't want to
insert _section breaks_ (what Word considers a "section") but just "a
couple of carriage returns" (paragraph marks). Are you sure about
this? What's the point of the exercise -- what will you do with the
document after the macro runs?

Hi

I need to run a small macro to split a passage into sections each
containing 250 characters (including spaces) or less.

Ideally it would split the passage on the page with a couple of carriage
return between each section.

Is this possible?

Grateful for any help.



Best Wishes


Colin
