Default Split the text Word into 4 files


I have a Word file with 181 pages of text. It is necessary to split the text into 4 files (let's say 45 pages each). Create a folder on your desktop and save new files there. Can this be done with a macro or manually?

It is important that the number of pages in a file can always be different.

Pages are an unfortunate way to split content. What is supposed to happen if that page break happens to fall in the middle of a paragraph or table? What do you want to happen to automatic paragraph numbers if the preceding elements are removed? What about page numbers in footers?

The logical way to split the doc would be to output to PDF in chunks of whatever your page count should be.

Thanks for the PDF idea.

This will make it really easier and faster.
