The lines indicated in red have wrapped prematurely use the following which
should not wrap

Sub DeleteMarkedPages()
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(findText:="\", _
MatchWildcards:=False, _
Wrap:=wdFindContinue, _
Forward:=True) = True
Selection.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete
Loop
End With

The macro will remove any page with the \ character in Word 2007 and should
work in Word 97 also, though I don't have it available to check. Word 2007
will open a Word document from Word 97 without the need to 'convert' it.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about macros to be able to use the
macro. When I tried to use it I got the following lines in red:

Do While .Execute(FindText:="#*#", MatchWildcards:=False,
Wrap:=wdFindContinue, Forward:=True) = True
Selection.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete
regardless what I replaced the "#*#" with.
My special character is \. I don't even know what I should writei n
the macro: "#\#", "\" or simply \
I haven't found FindText in the "VBA for Dummies" for Office 97 that
I have so I think I should save my file as Word 2007 first and then use
the macro.
I have Office 2007 (home edition) but I am not familiar with it yet,
at least not to use macros.
I am afraid I'll have to remove the pages manually. :-(

Use a macro containing the following code where you replace the #*#
with the special character that you intend to use. Selection.HomeKey
wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="#*#", MatchWildcards:=False,
Wrap:=wdFindContinue, Forward:=True) = True
Selection.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Delete Loop
End With

Hi All,

I have a big MS Word 97 file.
I am looking for any method that let me remove
automatically some pages which I can mark
using, for example, a special character as the
first on each page or in any other way.
I would be also satisfied if I could automatically
skip the pages whilst printing the file.

I can use the MS Word 2007 to do it, if necessary.

Could anyone help me please?
The matter is urgent.:-)

Regards
Tico
