Comment Deleting

B

Fellow Forum Members,
I have a 300 Page document going through a review process using the tools in
WORD's review toolbar. This document has had a lot of comments added to it
from five Engineers. I have been given the task to break this document into
it's three original parts (the Engineers made one WORD 2003 document of it
and this is unacceptable. The content needs to be in three different files in
specific chapters). In addition, the comments in each of the parts need to be
left intact. Therefore, copying and pasting to break up the document is not
possible because the comments don't carry over to a new file.

My only option is to select and delete what I don't want to break up the
pages. Selecting the pages and then deleting the content I don't want is a
nightmare. WORD really has made it difficult to delete groups of comments all
in one shot. It is a very excrutiating waiting process to delete 100 comments
all at once. WORD slows down so much that it's worse than watching paint dry.

How do I delete 50 pages and get the comments included within the 50 pages
to disappear together with the 50 pages? What WORD seems to be doing is
deleting all of the content within the 50 pages, but it leaves the comment
history for the 50 deleted pages behind as balloon comments. Then using the
Verify button to delete these unwanted comments is a royal pain. It is
extremely slow.

I would appreciate it very much if anyone can let me know how to delete
selected pages in a way that the comments are also included in the page
deletion. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
