Hi.
It's actually an audio and text format. Audio can accompany your book if
you wish but it doesn't have to. The text portion is split up by
headings to ease navigation.
Cheers,
Mo.

Hi Mo and all, thank you for your ideas up to now. Mo, the file is a big training book I have, I think it's split into headings but I'm not sure. Also, I made a mistake in my previous message, I thought it was a word document but it isn't, it's in HTML format. I have no idea about Daisy, I have heard of it but have no idea how it works, if I make a daisy book can I still read that with a braille display?

Dear Claire,
This is the way I would do it, but there may be a far more
sophisticated way.
I would open the file, and, whilst holding the Shift key down,
cursor down the document till about 20 or 30 lines were highlighted.
I would then copy this highlighted text to the Clipboard with
Control+c.
Thirdly, I would open a new Word document, and paste in the info
on the Clipboard.
I would save this second file.
This way I have the text in both files. I would copy the text
rather than cut it, just in case something went wrong.
Finally, I would go into the first file and make sure the cursor
is at the end of the text already copied, and then repeat the
procedure.
You can of course choose how much text to copy each time.
As I have said, Others may have a much easier or more
sophisticated way of doing things.
Good luck and best wishes,
Keith

*Subject:* [access-uk] Splitting a large word document into
smaller files
Hi all, I have posted this on another list so apologies if some of
you get this twice: I have a very large word document which I need
to read, and I am trying to find a way of splitting that file into
smaller separate files. I know this can be done with Ballabolka,
but I don’t want to convert the file into audio, I just want to
split the file into smaller files I can still read, not mP3 files.
I would greatly appreciate any help which anyone can give, thank
you in advance.
