Seperating Microsoft Word documents into seperate documents

[nanders8]

I have a large word document, which happens to be a song book, that has multiple songs on one page. I am wanting to seperate each song into it owns document and use the name of the song as the document file name.



I have gone in and started doing this by copying and pasting each song into its own seperate document, but this takes forever and I was wanting to automate this process by using VBA code.

Could someone provide me with some guideance?

Thanks!

Assuming your document has each song on a separate page, with Section breaks in between, you could use a macro like the one under 'Split Merged Output to Separate Documents' at: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...ps-tricks.html

If they're only separated by page breaks, you could use the same macro, but with the modifications suggested at: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post69459
