Functions in Word document

[יצחק ברט]

Hello.

I want to create different headers for some of the pages in one document,
but I don't want to use segments.
I thought that I can use a function that get as an argument the page number,
and return the appropriate header.
But how can I put the function in the header of my document? Can I use a
field for it?

Thanks a lot,
Itzchak

Use an { IF { PAGE } = # "True" "False" } field construction in the header
of the document. Note that you must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of
field delimiters { }. Use Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field
codes and F9 to update the field. You should also check out whether the
STYLEREF field can do what you want.

Thank you very much.

1. If I have a lot of possible headers, the use of the {IF} statement will
be complicated. Isn't there an option to use VBA functions in the document?

2. Can I use the {IF} statement to draw a page-border around some pages,
while the other pages will stay without page-border?

Thank again,
Itzchak

If you have your function create document variables such as

ActiveDocument.Variables("one").Value = "some text"
ActiveDocument.Variables("two").Value = "some other text"

etc.

and then in the header of the document, you insert the following field
construction

{ DOCVARIABLE { PAGE \* cardtext } }

The header of page one will display

some text

and that of page two will display

some other text

Hi Itzchak,

In a Word document, you can have three different headers and footers in a single Section - 1st page, Odd and Even. Beyond that, if
you want more header/footer variety, you have to use Section breaks and/or field coding. Using VBA doesn't change that - your VBA
code will still have to Work with what Word allows. You can, of course, use VBA to input the appropriate field coding.
