set link to previous to yes in the footer

[Associates]

Hi,

I was trying to insert an autotexts to a word report document and make sure
the footer is linked to the previous in VBA but can't seem to get it to work.

I have a template designed for Appendix and have set it up as an autotexts.
When user would like to insert an Appendix to the report, he/she just presses
a button (in macro) to insert it. My problem here is when the Appendix
autotexts is added, i want the footer to be linked to the previous page so
that i could get the numbering system to display on the appendix page.

I tried the following code (obtained from macro recorder) but it didn't work
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("appendix").Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range, RichText:=True

ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageFooter

Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldPage

Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = Not Selection.HeaderFooter. _
LinkToPrevious
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument

Thank you in advance

Hi,

It's a bit too hard. I have given this up. However, i have another question.
Since i have another option here and that is to ignore the numbering
altogether for Appendix. Appendix is of style Heading 7.

My question is whether there is a way of showing just the "Appendix A" in
TOC without showing the page number as follows

For example,
Table of Contents
Section 1 Introduction ..........................1
Section 2 Selling Point ..........................2
Glossary .............................................3
Appendix A Calculation
Appendix B Graphs

I am happy to just have the Appendix without the page number. Can this be
done with Heading 7 style?

Your helps would be greatly appreciated

Thank you in advance
