Section Break (Continuous) counted as Section Break (Next page)

wolfer · #1 01-04-2018, 08:14 AM

I have a word document consisting of sections: continuous or next page. I want to print a selected section or sections (next page) from an Excel sheet. I use the following statement to identify a section break (next page) from a section break (continuous)

objDoc.Sections(j + mm).PageSetup.SectionStart = WdSectionStart.wdSectionNewPage

Most of the time, this works; however, in one case, a section break (continuous) was taken as a section break (next page).

Can any one, please, give any hint?

Thanks

That code doesn't identify anything. It sets a section start to New Page but doesn't ask what it was before the code ran. It is also flawed as written and I'm surprised it actually works.

If you wanted to change the section break type then it should be:
objDoc.Sections(j + mm).PageSetup.SectionStart = wdSectionNewPage

If you want to find out what type of section break it is then you could use

Code:

  Select Case ActiveDocument.Sections(2).PageSetup.SectionStart
    Case wdSectionNewPage
      'do something
    Case wdSectionContinuous
      'do something else
    Case Else
      'do another thing
  End Select

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, you're right. The code I displayed above is not the complete one.

I have found out the problem; I used a wrong parameter: I should have used "i+mm" instead of "j+mm".

So the problem is not section break (next page) vs. a section break (continuous).

Again, thanks.
