Hi,



This Macro is really helpful, certainly for large files you have to split between translators.



However, I have a newbie question... How/where do you create this macro.



I go in Word > Tools > Macro and then I am a bit lost as to what to choose. Visual Basic or Microsoft editor.



Any help to use this macro would be welcome.



Thank you

In Word, press Alt + F11, the Visual Basic Editor will open.

Good luck and have fun with it!

Thank you again.
