how to know the pagenumber of a paragraph

[Ralf]

hi all,

i have to insert some pages in case of even or odd pagenumber of a paragraph
before the paragraph.

How can i find out the actual pagenumber of a paragraph?

 

[Lene Fredborg]

The following code will return the page number of end of the first paragraph
in the selection:

Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)

The following code will return the page number of end of the first
paragraph
in the selection:

Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)

.... but maybe (if you don't need the empty page) you'd be better off
inserting an odd or even page break?

Klaus

Use the .Selection.Information (wdActiveEndPageNumber) property.

i only know how to insertodd or even sections - and this happens that no
paenumber will insert for any empty page. But every page has to have a header
with logo and a footer with pagenumber.

Do you mean other method?

No, that's what I meant... and why I said it works if you don't need the
empty page.

You could insert the page break(s) by macro as you planned (using
Selection.Information to determine if it's necessary, as Doug and Lene
said).

Or you could use a field to force the empty page, as this article by John
McGhie explains:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/InsEvnPgEndChap.htm

I'd probably use the field myself, because the empty page goes away/is
inserted automatically if the page flow changes.
