How to force a page break???

[Nick]

Hello,

How do I force a page break at any given point with VB in a word document?

I have tried :

Selection.Paragraphs(1).PageBreakBefore = True

but that doesn't work. That makes a new page at every paragraph. But
when I set the number higher I do not get any page break. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Nick

You are telling the code to put a page break only before the 1st para in the
current selection..
You need to adjust the code to affect other paras. Best way to do this
depends on the details of your code.

Hi Nick,

When not sure I record a macro to do what I want then look at the
codee. In this case if you just insert a pagebreak at the cursor
location you will get the following code.

Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak

The code you has sets the paragraph format to always put in a page
break at the start of that paragraph. ie equivalent to the pagebreak
before option in the Line and page breaks tab of Format|Paragraphs,
which I suspect is not what you want.
