Default Microsoft Word experts...

Is there a way I can get Word to save each page of document into its own file?

So I write one 15 page file but can get Word to split it into 15 individual documents?

Thanks!

I don't know, but is it that hard to copy/paste each page into a new document and save it that way?

When you finish a page click Save As and rename the file. For example PF1. Then type the next section and save as PF2 and so on and so on.

That would work if the documents weren't already written...

but sadly they are.

it can easily be done as pdf files using adobe acrobat writer if you first convert it - but obviously then each page/file is not so easy to edit which may or may not be a good thing

i will have a look at word and see what i can come up with

i opened the page
then got very confused
then closed the page
and now i'm telling you lot how confusing it is

so what about us thinko's you don't know how to do this? do we have to save each page by itself then?

and what are you doing to save each page seperatly? is it a secret code the where you hidden your last rolo or something?
