Can VBA change pages in Microsoft Word's “Read Mode” Layout?

Bamenny · #1 05-16-2019, 08:33 AM

I'm trying to change pages while Microsoft Word is in "Read Mode"* by using a VBA code, and I can't seem to find any function that allows that.

(* Please notice that I'm talking about the "Read Mode" layout that you can change with the bottom-right icons in word, and not the "Read Only" mode that you sometimes get when you open a document from an unknown source)

In "Print Layout" it is simple since I can use something like -

Code:

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="LastReadingPoint"

But It won't work while I'm in "Read Mode".

None of these work:

Code:

ActiveDocument.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=1
ActiveDocument.Range.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=1
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="LastReadingPoint"
ActiveDocument.Range.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="LastReadingPoint"
ActiveDocument.Range.GoToNext wdGoToPage
ActiveDocument.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="LastReadingPoint"

(LastReadingPoint is a bookmark I've added to the text)

Any ideas or hacks?
