How To Split A Document In Word For Mac

By – December 13, 2011 In this tutorial, learn how to by breaking a single PDF file into multiple PDF documents using Acrobat X or XI. Have you ever needed to break a PDF into parts or separate files?

Perhaps you only need to email a few pages to someone instead of the entire file. You can easily break up a PDF document by following a few simple steps using Acrobat X or Acrobat XI Std or Acrobat Pro. First, open the PDF file that you want to break into different parts. Click on the Tools pane, Pages panel and select the Split Document command. The Split Document dialog allows you to control the split by the number of pages in a file, file size, or by top-level bookmarks. So, let’s say I’d like to split my document into 3 page increments, so I’ll select 3 pages in the Max.

The Split (Document) feature of Kutools for Word can help users to split a Word document by heading 1, page break, section break, or page. In addition, Kutools for Word also includes Merge feature to merge multiple Word documents into one. I tested on my Word for Mac version 15.20 and Mac OS X El Capitan. The split bar at the top of the vertical scroll bar is not supported. But the 'Split' button is available. In your scenario, I suggest you can upgrade your Office applications to the latest version to use 'Split' button as a workaround.

Microsoft support said that support for MS Office 2011 has not ended. So it is supported on macOS Sierra. Office for Mac Home and Student 2011. A Mac computer that has an Intel processor; Mac OS X version 10.5.8 (or a later version) 1 gigabyte (GB) or more of memory (RAM) 2.5 GB of available hard disk space. Microsoft has announced in a support document that Office for Mac 2011 will not be supported under macOS 10.13 High Sierra. Office for Mac 2011 Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Lync have not been tested on macOS 10.13 High Sierra, and no formal support for this configuration will be provided. Since October 10, 2017, Office for Mac 2011* is no longer supported. Well, as of macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Microsoft is dropping support for Office 2011. This means that, if you depend on this software, you need to make some changes. This means that, if you depend on this software, you need to make some changes.

And the Output Options allow you to control where the files are saved on your system, and how the files will be named. You can also specify if you want to overwrite any existing files. When I click OK, the pages are broken into different files and the original file is left unchanged. Here is a preview in Windows Explorer of all the files that have been split from the original file. Each one is named according to your selected output options. In the Windows version only of Acrobat, you can also split apart one or more PDFs with no document open. Simply select the Apply to Multiple command in the Split Document dialog and add the files or folders to be split, and click OK.

I had the same problem with a Word document and figured out the problem. Word seems to be spitting out separate PDF documents based on the page setup. So under File -> Page Setup you get a dialog box with the settings for the page, and usually a 'Format for' dropdown and a 'Paper Size' option. If these setting are not the same for the whole document, Word throws a wobbley and generates a PDF for each page setup. My solution (works where all of the pages are the same format).

File -> Page Setup Settings: Choose 'Microsoft Word' from the dropdown box Apply Page Setup settings to: Entire Document. This will setup up the entire document to use the same page settings, and will fix the problem for those of us who are wanting a document that all has the same page settings.

(This won't work if you are mixing page sizes.). Thank you for responding.

All of my pages are in portrait. I have tried combining in preview without success. I open the first PDF in Preview, then drag the next two PDFs into the sidebar.

I then select all and go to 'print selected pages' and give the command to 'save as PDF' in the print dialog box. I see the progress message telling me it is printing 5 pages but when I open the resulting PDF, it is only the last 3 pages (which is the third PDF I get in the first place.) My 6 page newsletter ends up as 1 page, 1 page, 3 pages.

I have tried printing to PDF from Print Layout and from Publishing Layout with the same disappointing results. If you see anything I should be doing differently, let me know.

I just tried again with the same lack of success as before. One thing I did notice: the 'save' command is not available; only the 'save as.' The bar at the top of my Preview page says 'page one of 3; 3 documents, 5 total pages' so it seems to recognize all the documents on some level. I may try one of the third-party programs you gave links to, although I'm reluctant to complicate things further.

Some third-party programs have not been friendly enough to this user. I do thank you for your willingness to keep trying to help me through this. I'm doing something wrong but just can't seem to find what it is. I had the same problem with a Word document and figured out the problem.
