MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / March 2005Page level field??
Is there a way to have a page level hidden field that can be tied to a userform so that the user can set the field on a page by page basis. I need this to be able to define a page level classification code that will be used within the header to display a classification marker. I want to have a menu item that opens the userform and displays and lets the user set the page level field. Any suggestions/ideas?

This would be rather tricky, as you can't lock anything to a specific page in Word. Word is designed for text flow, and the text is editted, it will move to a different page. And everything in a document is linked to some portion of text (graphics objects are anchored to paragraphs/characters). If you had a document, and added, say, some hidden information in a Frame, in a margin, you'd have to have some way of tracking whether these frames have moved to a different page. And then you'd have to know whether the page level info it contains is still pertinent to the page on which it was originally, or if that text has moved to the page where the frame now finds itself. Now, if you wanted to classify the document by paragraph, this is something you could do.

The issue however is when a paragraph spans pages and therefore the marker is only seen on the first page, not the others. > Hi Ml, > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > reply > in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi Ml, > We do classify by paragraph by using a marking at the beginning.

IOW, what you're really after is a way to pick up - whether the para spans more than one page - what the level is on that preceding page? In any case, there's no way to put something page-specific in the document header. Headers are section, not page-specific. You could certainly position a frame on the page so that it looks like it's in the header.

Yes that is it exactly. The frame is not simple enough for our users, this needs to be extremely easy to use. > Hi Ml, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or > reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi Ml, > > IOW, what you're really after is a way to pick up > > - whether the para spans more than one page > > - what the level is on that preceding page? > > Yes that is it exactly. Well, my inclination would be to cycle through all the paragraphs in the document (or in a range) and compare the page number (Range.Information). If the page numbers of two consecutive paragraphs differ, I'd back up a character (to move to the preceding para) and check that page number. If it's on the same page as the "next" paragraph, then it extends across two pages.
