Hello all,
I am splitting a large document into individual documents by for each page. In the code below I am losing formatting. Is there a way to copy the formatting exactly? Do I need to copy the entire doc and delete all pages but the one I want? Do I need to use a template? Any help is appreciated.
Code:
Sub SplitDoc()
Dim docMultiple As Document
Dim docSingle As Document
Dim rngPage As Range
Dim iCurrentPage As Integer
Dim iPageCount As Integer
Dim strNewFileName As String
Dim strInvoice As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Makes the code run faster and reduces screen _
flicker a bit.
Set docMultiple = ActiveDocument 'Work on the active document _
(the one currently containing the Selection)
Set rngPage = docMultiple.Range 'instantiate the range object
iCurrentPage = 1
'get the document's page count
iPageCount = docMultiple.Content.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages)
Do Until iCurrentPage > iPageCount
If iCurrentPage = iPageCount Then
rngPage.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End 'last page (there won't be a next page)
Else
'Find the beginning of the next page
'Must use the Selection object. The Range.Goto method will not work on a page
Selection.GoTo wdGoToPage, wdGoToAbsolute, iCurrentPage + 1
'Set the end of the range to the point between the pages
rngPage.End = Selection.Start
End If
rngPage.Copy 'copy the page into the Windows clipboard
Set docSingle = Documents.Add 'create a new document
docSingle.Range.PasteAndFormat Type:=wdFormatOriginalFormatting
'docSingle.Range.Paste 'paste the clipboard contents to the new document
'remove any manual page break to prevent a second blank
docSingle.Range.Find.Execute FindText:="^m", ReplaceWith:=""
'build a new sequentially-numbered file name based on the original multi-paged file name and path
'strNewFileName = Replace(docMultiple.FullName, ".doc", "_" & Right$("000" & iCurrentPage, 4) & ".doc")
'strNewFileName = "Whatever" & ".doc" ' Usually a sting from differan Sub
strNewFileName = "whatever" & ".PDF"
docSingle.SaveAs strNewFileName, Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF 'save the new single-paged document
iCurrentPage = iCurrentPage + 1 'move to the next page
docSingle.Close SaveChanges:=False 'close the new document
rngPage.Collapse wdCollapseEnd 'go to the next page
Loop 'go to the top of the do loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'restore the screen updating
'Destroy the objects.
Set docMultiple = Nothing
Set docSingle = Nothing
Set rngPage = Nothing
End Sub
Any help is appreciated!
