Making big docs into smaller documents. Please help.

[Jagrantz]

I am learning VBA for Word and need some help please.:banghead:

I need to break a bunch of large Word documents into multiple smaller documents using VBA. The original files will remain unchanged. The bookmark names are always the same and they are just place markers within the documents.

The documents look like this –

BookmarkA
.
.
.
BookmarkB
.
.
.
BookmarkC
.
.
.
Etc.

The result should be –
File1:
BookmarkA
.
.
.


File2:
BookmarkB
.
.
.
BookmarkC
.
.
.

Would someone please help me get started with this code? Thanks for any help.

If you want to save each section from one bookmark to the next and if your bookmark names really are BookmarkA, BookmarkB etc., and there are no other bookmarks in the document then the following will split them. The principles involved are to create a new document based on the original and then mark the parts to be removed as ranges and remove them.
