Split a Word document at section breaks

Use jetformat word split to split a Word document at section breaks.

By Jetformat

Word split follows section breaks, not rendered page boundaries. If the task asks for PDF pages 2–5, convert to PDF and use pdf extract instead.

Steps

  1. Start with a local DOCX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat word split report.docx -o report-parts

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output directory; defaults to <filename>-parts

Check the result

Inspect the output files and check that each section starts and ends at the intended content.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat word split --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the word command reference for the surrounding workflow.
