   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/

   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!!
