Hi All

I have a requirement where in I have to create a few new document's by taking out each page of an existing document. The format and style should be that of the existing document. Can any one help me fetch a macro for doing this.

Any one please help..

Thanks in advance

Regards

Shibu

Please have a look at the Basic code in this example:
makeDayCopy

Make a copy of actual document.

The name and location of an actual loaded document is retrieved. Both will be expanded with a defined string. Then a SAVE operation to the same location is tried.

Can you start your coding from this?

Hi,

The link was not of much help. I think that creates a copy of the whole document/documents. I want to separate documents into single pages.

Here is a very basic macro to do what you want. It does not attempt to match page styles to the original. It does not copy frames, headers, footers (any page number field would be 1 anyway), footnotes and who knows what else. I can only say that it's better than nothing. You will end up with one new file per page in the same directory where the original file is saved named, "OriginalFileNameN".

Hello John

Thankyou very much for the macro you have give. It works well in many cases. But there is an issue when there are numbered lists and the sequence continues in the next page. The numbering starts from 1 in the newly created document. Is there a way to solve this. This is very important for me. The macro is extremely good in other cases.

Thanks Again

Ok Then Gentleman,

I will have to look into some other means to get this done. I'm surprised as to how this can happen. The current page contents are taken into the buffer and then pasted into a new document. I'm not bothered about the text heading or other stuff, but this is behaviour is awkward.

May be this should be taken as a future enhancement/bug

Thanks again for your time,

Regards
