Get the windows port of the GNU split.exe (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/) and on a command line type:

 

split -l65000 <inputfile> <outputprefix>

 

and you'll get a bunch of files named <outputprefix>aa, <outputprefix>ab, <outputprefix>ac, etc. each with 65000 lines.

Subject: [PcTech] Quick Way to Delete Large amount data in Word

I've got a HUGE CSV file (too many rows to open in Excel) that I need to break up into Excel-able (hey I invented a new word!!) sizes.

 

My thoughts were to open it in Word, select a chunk of data, copy/paste it into another doc and save.

 

Problem is even using the fast scroll trick while selecting it is taking FOREVER to select the chunk.  Is there a quicker way?
