Code execution on footer change

[Matt]

I am trying to get some code to run when a changes is made to the footer in a
word document any ideas on how to do this.

 

[Jezebel]

No easy way to do this. What's the underlying objective?

when the have but their name in the footer it will then give them to more
pages in the document and add some text to the document

The WindowSelectionChange event fires whenever you change the position of
the selection using the mouse or the arrow keys you could have this event
test for the presence of the user's name in the footer, and add the pages if
it is present. (You would need to set a flag so that you only add the extra
pages once)

This would cause the pages to be added when the use comes out of the
header/footer view.

For how to use application event procedures such as WindowSelectionChange,
take a look at this article
