😅Whew👏🏾👏🏾I can’t thank you enough! I had a huge document and the 1st video on this topic(another channel) showed this same concept, but they didn’t show the main document automatically being converted to hyperlinks, but mine did. I kept redoing the steps until finally I searched for “split large documents” again and found your video and you gave me the very cruciai missing piece of “Expand Subdocuments.” Thank you 😊I’m happy that I’m a subscriber to your channel.
Thanks for the great tutorial! Now I need to know how to split a word document into separate files while preserving the information in headers and footers. In my documents, the header information is from a merged field and the footer information is standard across all documents. I'd greatly appreciate any help on this.
It’s a very useful video . I am able to split the document. Could you please also explain if it is possible to keep same header & footer in the split document as original?
this video saved my life, thank you! :D You might want to add some instructions on how to unlink the subdocuments... it took me a while to figure that out, and the internet didn't really help :p
I follow your steps all the way till the outlining view. When I press Ctrl A to select the entire document and click on "Show Document", "Create" is grayed out. The other difference I can see between your screen and mine is that, "Collapse Subdocuments" is turned on automatically, and there is no way I can turn it off. I am not able to split the documents. What do you think could be the problem?
HI sir. how could i also spilt pictures. for e.g. a word file including 62 fotos solely. I want to break it down into 3 word file so as to reduce its size. Thankss!~
When I split my document, it does not save the formatting, header and footer in the new ones. How can I split the documents so that it save the formatting, header, and footer so that I don't have to manually add those back in. I have a document that I need to split into 69 different documents and this would be a huge time saver!
This is very helpful, but it stripped out all the headers and footers. Is there a way to preserve that information while doing this sort of rapid document splitting? I don't care so much if it renumbers each one, but if there was a header that read "Chapter 1: This is one title" or "Chapter 2: This is a different title," I would want that to travel with, and still appear within, the split documents.
I've done this successfully (almost) with a mail merge that has multiple letters to individuals. Each letter is only one page and the individual files saved except there is a blank page at the end of each document. I don't have a return at the end of the letters. It's not spilling onto a 2nd page in the merge. How can I prevent the blank page?
If you have a continuous break section, you'll have to delete them. In outline mode there may be a gap in between sections and you can click on the gap, then hit delete button. But there are some good videos on that topic, assuming that's the issue.
Hi. Have got a query: I have a ms word document consisting of, say, 200 words. Is there any way to split it into 50 equal parts, that is, 4 words per page?
The Heading 1 style, does not populate anything when I click into the document at the locations I need broken out. Would it by my version of Micro Word?
Thank you, Chester! Is there a trick on how to capture full title as an individual file name? I noticed it only picked up some portion of heading1 as a file name in your video as well.
