Word should let you select/delete page ranges (using a dialog)?

[Guest]

I frequently work with large documents (250+ pages).
Selecting a large number of pages for copying/deletion is time consuming:
you have to just scroll through them all. Maybe a dialog box would make this
easier?

Word is not a page based application. There is no such thing as a Word
'page' per se. A page is a collection of elements and the content in the
text layer is affected by a variety of factors, not least of which is the
printer driver. Selection of a range of pages for deletion is possible, but
is unpredictable because of the presence of sections and headers etc, so
removal of such a range may not give you the results you anticipate.
However, you could try the following macro which will be as close as you can
reasonably get:

Sub PageDelete()
sNumber = InputBox("Delete from which page", "Delete Pages", 1)
sRange = InputBox("Delete how many pages", "Delete Pages", 1)
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToNext, Name:=sNumber
For a = 1 To sRange
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete
Next a
End Sub
