Using InsertFile and getting Page Numbers to start at 1
Hi, I am automating Word 2007 (have tried with VBA and C#) to append several documents together. These documents can have different margins, headers/footers, etc. I have followed the procedure described by http://word.mvps.org/faqs/Formatting...thSections.htm and am not getting the desired output. Given the following documents: Document 1 - No headers, footers without page numbers Document 2 - Different margins from Document 1, has no headers, but has footers without page numbers. Document 3 - Same margins as Document 2, has no headers, but has footers *with* page numbers. The first section in this document is *not* linked to previous section (or so Word says when I have this document opened in isolation) and it has its page numbering set to restart at number 1. I have a loop that essentially puts the continuous section breaks at the beginning and end (setting size to 1 font size so 'not noticeable') in via code 'simliar' to: foreach document call application.Selection.HomeKey(wdStory) call application.Selection.InsertBreak(wdSectionBreakCo ntinuous) call application.Selection.Document.Sections(1).Range.S elect application.Selection.Font.Size = 1 call application.Selection.EndKey(wdStory) call application.Selection.InsertBreak(wdSectionBreakCo ntinuous) call application.Selection.Document.Sections( application.Selection.Document.Sections.Count-1 ).Range.Characters.Last.Select application.Selection.Font.Size = 1 Then assuming I've opened Document 1, I have the following code to merge the three documents: call application.Selection.EndKey(wdStory) call application.Selection.InsertBreak(wdSectionBreakNe xtPage) call application.Selection.InsertFile("Document 2") call application.Selection.EndKey(wdStory) call application.Selection.InsertBreak(wdSectionBreakNe xtPage) call application.Selection.InsertFile("Document 3") Everything (i.e. margins, headers and footers) looks pretty good except for the problem that the *first page* of 'Document 3' has a page number equal to the actual page that the page corresponds to in *entire* merge (i.e. page 13 say), then the *second page* of 'Document 3' starts over at page number 2 and continues on. When I examine the page numbering restart properties on the first page of 'Document 3' (after the merge) the property has changed to 'Continue from previous section'. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. |
