I have a multi-page document in MS Word.  I want to move individual
pages from this document, one at a time, and save them individually
under a new name.  These pages have footnotes and photographs. If I
highlight the page and do a copy-paste, the new saved version loses
the graphics, and the photos get screwed up as well as the footnotes. 
I want to select a page, and save it in it's exact form to a new
document.  A correct answer is the sequence I need, to accomplish this
seemingly simple task.

I am using Office 2000

Using Office XP, I copied and pasted several pages of a document, with
pictures, into separate documents and saved them individually. I had
no problems with the layout or graphics.

It may depend on the version you are using and the setup.

Try saving your original document under a new name, open the new
document and delete all except the required matter. Repeat for each
page. Footnotes will renumber if you delete earlier footnotes; there
may be a setting 'Start Footnote Numbering From' which you can set for
the documents holding an individual page to correct this - I don't
have Word2000 to check.

tibiaron-ga,

Although I don't have MS Word 2000, I do have both Word 97 and Word
2002, and in both of these I was able to Ctrl-A S(select all) each
page and delete it (save a copy first before you try this), then
Ctrl-A and Copy the page to be transfered to a new document. In a new
doc, I pasted the page with the images and footnotes and had no
problems. Sometimes Ctrl-A is better than manually selecting with the
mouse, if htat's what you did.

Another more roundabout approach would be to try some kind of Export
operation for a selected range. Maybe, Export to New Word Doc,
selected range. Or even, Send To-->Powerpoint, page 1, then from
PowerPoint back to Word.

Hope this helps,

I'm quite sure you can't do what you want solely using Word.

However, you can achieve it by the following slightly awkward process...

Get Adobe Acrobat, which will let you (by printing it to a "virtual"
printer), create a document which is a formatted version of yours, but
is no longer editable or changeable.

Then, by using the (free) Adobe Acrobat Reader (from their web site),
you can display the file created in the first step.   Then, you can
copy and paste each
page into a separate Word document.   Original fonts, etc, should be preserved.

ty,   I was able to make your method work, but it's way to slow and
cumbersome for doing a lot of pages.  I suppose you are right that
Word can't do this simple trick, at least it can't do it without a
major hassel. I have given up on MS Word and started using Word
Perfect which has no problem selecting a page and saving it.  In fact
I have already found several other features with Word Perfect which
out perform MS Word.

Thanks for the input from each of you.
