No, but if you want to include one conditionally, you can put one inside the
result of an if field, e.g. { IF { MERGEFIELD x } = "Y" "put a page break character here" } -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "nph12" wrote in message ... Is there a field code for section break (next page)? |

Or you could use:
{IF{ MERGEFIELD x}= "Y" {QUOTE 12}} -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ...

What should {QUOTE 12} do? Is there not a field code for section break? What
about ^b, ^m or ^12? "macropod" wrote: Or you could use: {IF{ MERGEFIELD x}= "Y" {QUOTE 12}} -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ...

Is there a field code for section break (next page)?
Unfortunately I have probably confused things by saying "page break" rather
than "section break". AFAIK { QUOTE 12 } inserts a page break, although macropod may know otherwise. Is there not a field code for section break There isn't a /specialised/ field code for a section break, no. I think the nearest you will get is to do something like { SET sb "insert a section break here" } and use { REF sb } to insert it. beware, because section breaks have a habit of turning into "Next Page Sectionbreaks" when you do this, even when what you insert is another type of break. FWIW { QUOTE aa bb cc } inserts the characters corresponding to aa, bb, cc e.g. if the font is set to Arial Unicode MS, then { QUOTE 65 66 67 0x2780 } inserts ABC followed by a circled 1. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "nph12" wrote in message ...

Is it possible to add a section break (next page) by using VBA?

Hi nph12,
{QUOTE 12} inserts a page break. I don't know of a field code that inserts a Section break. Is there a particular reason a page break won't suffice? And yes, it is possible to insert Section breaks with vba. However, that requires a rather different approach to the whole of the mailmerge operation than using field coding alone. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "nph12" wrote in message ...
