On the rare occasions I need to do this I use one of two approaches.  I either Save the file under a new name, then delete the earlier and later pages to leave only what I require, or I select and Copy the pages required, pasting them into a new file.



Alternative is to copy the .odt file and delete the content of the 
copied file. save this under a new name.
Now you have at least an empty document with all Styles as in your 
original file.
Everything you copy now from your original documents should have at 
least the Styles preserved.

If docx format is required, SoftMakerOffice's word processor can do it
and there is a free version for non-commercial use. It doesn't have all
the bells and whistes of the paid version, which is in the $80 range. I
don't have any financial or other interest in Softmaker.


For the record: LibreOffice can write the .docx format.

Hello,
My name is Yvonne Simmons and I am doing some research on word processors

Hello Yvonne.

While it's nice that you are here and willing to interact with the
Apache Open Office users community as a learning exercise, it's not so
nice to ask for others just to reply to your assignment questions ;).

In other words, you should be able to figure differences by yourself
just by reading the Wikipedia entry for each program (eg: Wordperfect,
Apache Open Office Writer, and Microsoft Word). And even better, if
you took the time to install each program and test it  on your own.

I will give you some clues, which will surely help you get started:

1. Apache Open Office is available in a version for the Linux
operating system in addition to Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
Microsoft Word does not have a Linux version.
2. Cost: Microsoft Word is not free, Apache Open Office is...
3. Think about the source code, and if modifications to the program
are alllowed on each word processor.

Oh, gotcha, I almost filled all 3. ;-)

Of course, if you start using each you will also notice other
differences with regards to the user interface.

Good luck.

Perhaps Yvonne doesn't own MS Word and does not want to spend the
money to buy it simply to write a short paper for school. OTOH, she
may be forced to buy it to satisfy her instructor. Perhaps the instructor
requires all papers to be submitted in .docx format.
I don't believe Open Office can write docx format output.

and there is a free version for non-commercial use. It doesn't have all

Goog luck, Yvonne!

yeah, I'm stuck doing this.

only the first option works as the document is highly formatted so I'd 
have to recreate the formatting.


luckily relatively short, need five chunks from 50+ pages.

related issue: is there an easy way to convert page numbers from 
'fields' to ordinary numbers?


sigh, I assume I have to re-set pagination on each sub-file if I want 
that.


maybe I should have done this as a 'master document'? fooled with that 
a couple of yrs ago but the added layer of complexity did not bring an 
added degree of gain.
