 * Ok, I’m trying a large experiment. This would consist of large posts (in the 
   500-800 words) and wanted to have the post split every 200 words or so, like 
   a book.
 * I know I can do that by manually adding the ‘more’ tag but then I’d manually 
   have to count words and place the tag.
 * Does anyone know of a plugin that will split a post multiple times at a certain
   amount of word?

 * Not sure if it is current or not, but I’ve seen this one used in the past for
   that: [http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/angsumans-multi-page-plugin-wordpress-2x-plugin-to-create-multi-paged-articles/](http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/angsumans-multi-page-plugin-wordpress-2x-plugin-to-create-multi-paged-articles/)

 * Chris, this is actually exactly what I need. I’m going to try a “story blog” 
   where a page would be a chapter in a book. The site would be ad driven. So it
   would be nice to have pagination every so many words that they’d have to “turn
   a page” like they would a book. Keeps a user engages, places to book mark and
   refresh ads for revenue.
 * HOPEFULLY this is going to sold this part of the ‘job’. Thanks!

 * Hmmm this doesn’t do it automatically and doesn’t seem to work in WP 2.7.1
 * So .. back to where I started. Blast.
 * Any other thoughts?

 * I should clarify .. I said “posts” but I really mean pages. So teh simple <!–
   nextpage–> doesn’t seem to apply.

 * Just to clarify with people who may stumble on this:
 * I was originally looking for a plug that will split a PAGE according to word 
   counts. However, it seems this is not something that can be done so I’ve now 
   abandoned the idea.
 * I’ll be using POSTS for what I’m trying to do. My goal is to find a way – or 
   plug – that will automatically add the <!–nextpage–> tag after every so many 
   words. I’m using WordPress to present a book – so having the ability to just 
   past my content in a post and hit ‘publish’ and have everything automatically
   parse correctly is a very big deal. I don’t have a lot of time to screw with 
   formatting each post everytime.
 * If I have to, I will obviously make the extra time (which really isn’t a huge
   amount).
 * So, if anyone has any ideas how to have something add a line of code after so
   many words, that would be great!!
