How to Slice a Word File into Multiple Smaller Pieces

If you wish to divide a Word file into smaller segments, you can utilize VBA or a free online tool to expedite the process.

1. Slicing Word Files into Smaller Segments Using VBA

Within Microsoft, you can employ VBA – Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications – to partition a Word file into multiple smaller files based on predefined markers.

Step 1: Before intending to split a Word file into multiple smaller files, you need to create markers at the cutting positions.

Note: You can cut the file at any position within the Word document, not necessarily at the end. Segments between pages, 2/3, 3/4 pages are all cuttable. Just ensure you insert the 'Cutting Position Marker Code' at the desired cut point.

Step 2: Then, press the Alt + F11 combination to open Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications.

Next, select Insert => Module to add a new Module into Word.

Step 3: In the Module window, simply copy the code snippet below for pasting.

Sub SplitNotes(delim As String, strFilename As String)
 Dim doc As Document
 Dim arrNotes
 Dim I As Long
  

    
  
  
 Dim X As Long
 Dim Response As Integer
 arrNotes = Split(ActiveDocument.Range, delim)
 Response = MsgBox('This will split the document into ' & UBound(arrNotes) + 1 & ' sections. Do you wish to proceed?', 4)
 If Response = 7 Then Exit Sub
 For I = LBound(arrNotes) To UBound(arrNotes)
 If Trim(arrNotes(I)) <> '' Then
 X = X + 1
 Set doc = Documents.Add
 doc.Range = arrNotes(I)
 doc.SaveAs ThisDocument.Path & '' & strFilename & Format(X, '000')
 doc.Close True
 End If
 Next I
 End Sub
 Sub test()
 'delimiter & filename
 SplitNotes '///', 'Name '
 End Sub

Step 4: To name the resultant smaller files after cutting, simply delete the Notes section and replace with the filename.

The smaller files after cutting will be named as follows: The name you set + 001/002/003…099

Step 5: Finally, all you need to do is press F5 to execute the split command in Word.

Step 6: At this point, the Microsoft Word window will appear asking whether to split the file into multiple smaller files. Simply select Yes to automatically proceed with the splitting process.

Step 7: That's it! You've completed splitting the Word file into multiple smaller files using VBA.
