How do I automate lists of effective pages in word

[David]

I have a technical manual with many chapters (seperate word documents) and I
would like to know whether it is possible to automate the list of effective
pages contained in the first chapter?

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that each chapter of your manual is a discrete Word document.
If that's the case, then opening the document for a chapter and querying its BuiltInDocumentProperties will give you the number of pages in that document, and hence, in that chapter:

ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Number of pages")

It is possible, but how you do it depends on exactly what you want included
in the List of Effective pages. I recently did an automation project on this
for an airline, where they wanted the revision level for each page listed.
