Inserting a Break with a Macro
Summary: How to insert different types of breaks within a VBA macro. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
You know how to insert breaks in your text using menu commands, but you can also do the same thing under control of your VBA macro. The InsertBreak method inserts any type of break in your document. The syntax is:
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=BreakValue
where BreakValue is one of the following values:
| BreakValue | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| wdPageBreak | Page break | |
| wdColumnBreak | Column break | |
| wdSectionBreakNextPage | Next-page section break | |
| wdSectionBreakContinuous | Continuous section break | |
| wdSectionBreakEvenPage | Even-page section break | |
| wdSectionBreakOddPage | Odd-page section break | |
| wdLineBreak | Line break |
