How do I get a macro to delete certain pages after the document is saved

Hi Rob:

You can't actually do this, because a Word document file does not contain
any "pages" to be deleted.

"Pages" are "invented" by Word when the document is sent to the screen or
printer, they do not exist in the file to be found or deleted.

However, you can create various work-arounds. One of the simplest is to
bookmark the various pages: "MarkPage1", "MarkPage2", "MarkPage3" etc.

Then it's simply to make a macro to select and delete the content of, for
example, "MarkPage2". Note that as soon as you do, Page 3 will become page
2

Perhaps if you tell us what you are trying to accomplish we can be of more
help?

Cheers
