1. I would like to split a word 2000 document and save it as 2 separate documents.
2. I would also like to delete the xtra page that word 2000 rap created.
Any suggestions?
 
Hi geozor

First, I'll assume the 'automatic' in the subject line refers to how
the document was created, not that you want some automatic way to do
the tasks you described below. If that's wrong, you need a macro, for
which you should post the question in one of the microsoft.word.vba
newsgroups.

To split a document (assuming you know where the split should be),
there are two general strategies. Both work equally well, but one may
be easier than the other for some kinds of documents.

(1) Use File > Save As to create a second copy of the original
document. Then select and delete from each copy the parts that don't
belong there.

- OR -

(2) Create a new blank document. Select one part of the original
document, copy* it to the clipboard, paste it into the new document,
and save. Go back and delete the part from the original document.
*Copy, don't cut -- if you cut and something bad happens before you
can paste, you could lose the data.

While you're doing this, remember that Undo is your friend -- even
after saving a document, as long as you don't close it, you can undo
back to a previous state.

To delete an extra page, you need to find out why it's there. It could
be a hard page break, a paragraph with 'Page break before' formatting,
a table or graphic forcing a blank paragraph onto the next page, or a
number of other things. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FitCopy.htm for some help.
