Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your contribution

I didn't get yours quite to work yet. I created the macro and it seemed to be doing the job (ie no error dialog box) but in the end nothing happened.
By the way: is there a way the macro would split a document into 1000 word chunks ON THE DOCUMENT ITSELF, as opposed to creating x 1,0000-word docs? E.g. by creating a mark of sorts. If the macro could pull this off it'd be next to FANTASTIC
Thank you both.
