How to divide 90 word pages into parts for emailing?

[DAMcC]

Can anyone please tell me how to divide a 90 page word doc with several
pictures into three or four parts for emailing?

I don't want to send all 90 pages at once for fear of jamming up the
computers of receipiants.

Thanks, Dennis

Use WinRar to compress it into as many compressed files as you require. This
will maintain the document in its original form and give you a raft of
smaller files to e-mail. The main snag with that is that neither you nor
your recipients may have WinRar. http://www.win-rar.com/download.html

If the recipients do not have to edit the document, but merely view it,
create PDFs of 20 to 30 pages (or whatever suits) as separate files. You
will need a third party app to do that too, eg PrimoPDF or even Acrobat, but
most recipients should have or know about Adobe Reader.

Any attempts to split the document into three separate Word documents will
be fraught with problems of layout and numbering.

A third-party utility is a good idea. Some of the dedicated file
splitters create a small executable that will put the parts back
together on the other end without the recipient having the
splitter program. I'm looking at gsplit right now which does this
(I've never actually used it).

In addition to what Graham and Paul B have said, a way to work around file
size limitations of email accounts is to set your mail client to break up
messages above a specific size. For example, in Outlook Express, in Tools |
Accounts, select the mail account you will use and, on the Advanced tab,
check the box for "Break apart messages larger than..." In my case, I have
to set it to 9999 KB.

Newsgroups posts broken apart in this way appear as separate messages, and
you have to download them all and then select them and use "Combine and
Decode." Email messages apparently combine on their own. I've only sent such
broken-up messages, never (to my knowledge) received one, but my recipient
says he just clicks on one and somehow all the pieces are combined
automatically, so this is all transparent to the user and doesn't require
any effort on your part, either. Of course, zipping the file first doesn't
hurt, either.

I appreciate all three replies here. All of you refer to technology that is
above my pay grade! LOL!

I did find another solution: I broke the 90 pages into four roughly 23 page
segments and copied and saved each of the 4 segments. Then attached each
segment to a seperate email. A little low tech but it worked.

Thanks, D.
