Hi Paul,

I posted on another one of the threads you responded to as well. I am trying to use a macro to split a document, on the other post it was by heading, on https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...name-each.html is by header. I think header is a preferred option for me, but either one will do as long as it works. When I try the code you posted I receive the following error:

"Run time error 4605: this method or property is not available because the current selection is locked for editing."

When I hit debug it brings me to the following line of code:

.Range.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatOriginalFormatting)

The other macro you suggested (splitting by heading) didn't work either. Do you think this could be a bigger overall issue (like permissions) rather than an issue with the macro itself?

Thanks!
