Esoom:
Webadept isn't Word adept. Word has a handy feature that lets you
break up a single, existing file into Master and Sub-Documents, which
then automatically saves each Sub-Document as a separate file - and
you can choose to save them as a Web Page (html).
Here's how (Important: before you start create a copy of your file to
work with)
1. Open the existing document - the copy!
2. Switch to 'Outline View' - if you are unfamiliar with this you may
want to to a little review by looking at 'Help'.
3. If your document isn't set up with 'Headings' you will need to
create them - again, if you are unfamiliar with this check help (at
this point look up 'Master Documents' in 'Help' and it will walk you
through this)
4. Your 'Master Document' will be a container for all the
'Sub-Documents'- to meet your needs you will want the first page you
want to publish as HTML to be a 'Sub-Heading' to the 'Master
Document'.
5. Once your 'Headings' are set up, you can select 'Create
Sub-Document' from the 'Outline Toolbar'
6. When you create a 'Sub-Document' there is a box that defines the
limits of the contents of the 'Sub-Document' - if needed, you can cut
and paste content into the 'Sub-Document'.
7. Review your document by switching to 'Normal' or 'Print Layout'
view - you will see a 'Section Break' line between each
'Sub-Document'.
8. Select 'Save As' and 'Web Page' - Word will create separate HTML
pages for each 'Sub-Document'.
Happy publishing!

I'm not sure I understand. Are you confusing my answer with Webadept's
comment?
What I outlined is a function of Word and 'assumes' you are using Word
on a Windows platform. In which case you would use VBA to automate the
process.
Was my assumption correct?

What if I am not using headings what do I do, this is just a 23 page
document with a constant header and footer?
As for the last comment I was refer to the first request for
clarification.
Sorry about that.

Esoom:
Is there a break between the pages (i.e. title, subject heading,
etc.)? If so you can simply change them to a 'Heading'. If not you can
insert a 'Heading' at the beginning of each page.
But let's backup a bit...
It may help me to guide you through this if I understand your
objective - what are you trying to do?

I mean what are you trying to do in the Big Picture. I would assume
you are trying to publish your document on the web and want to be able
to navigate from page to page instead of having one long scrolling
document.
Is that the right assumption?

I have a hundred page word document I need to convert to html in a way
where I have one html page for one document page, so the 100 page
manual would have 100 html pages.

Esoom:
I would suggest using a heading such as 'page 1, page 2, etc'.
However, what I've suggested requires understanding how to use headers
and master/sub-documents in Word.
I'm not aware of another method to achieve your desired result, but
that doesn't mean there isn't one. May I suggest that you repost the
question and give the rest of the community another crack at it.
If you feel that my answer in no way answered your question, then you
