MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / June 2007Headers: in landscape or portrait page?
If my cursor is in a header, or footer, how can I determine if the respective page is landscape or portrait? The code that returns the orientation doesn't seem to work when I have the header selected! Thanks!  Signaturecmbrown I just tested the following - it worked for me (there may be more elegant methods). You can use: Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber) to return the section number at the _end_ of the current selection. This means that you can use: ActiveDocument.Sections(Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber)).PageSetup.Orientation to return the orientation of the section in question. 0 = portrait 1 = landscape Note that the code is most likely broken into 2 lines when posted - change it to 1 line. --- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word > If my cursor is in a header, or footer, how can I determine if the respective > page is landscape or portrait?

I spoke too soon, I now have another problem... I am trying (in Word 2003) to get some code to work that inserts a landscape page and formats the headers and footers. (Only new tabs, to adjust for the wider margins.) The problem is that, whenever I access the headers, and do a select.whoestory, the PREVIOUS section is selected, no matter what I try. I have no idea why this happens. I can step through the code, and when I access the header, I can see the cursor is in the landscape header, but then when I try to do ANYTHING to the header, the cursor jumps to the previous section. Any ideas? Signaturecmbrown > Hi Lene, sorry for the delay in responding (I went on vacation), and thanking > you for your help. It worked great!
