Creating pages

The methods for creating pages belong to the Document class.

Both the Document.AddPages method and the Document.AddPagesEx method add the specified number of pages to the end of a document. The difference between these methods is that AddPages uses the default page size, while AddPagesEx uses a specified size.

Similarly, both the Document.InsertPages method and the Document.InsertPagesEx method insert the specified number of pages at the specified location in a document. The difference between these methods is that InsertPages uses the default page size, while InsertPagesEx uses a specified size.

As an example, the following VBA code uses the AddPages method to add three default-sized pages to the end of the document:

Public Function AddSomeSimplePages() as Page

Set AddSomeSimplePages = ActiveDocument.AddPages(3)

End Function

The following VBA example uses the AddPagesEx method to add to the end of the document three pages that are 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches high:

Public Function AddSomeSpecifiedPages() as Page

Dim doc as Document

Set doc = ActiveDocument

doc.Unit = cdrInch

Set AddSomeSpecifiedPages = doc.AddPagesEx(3, 8.5, 11)

End Function

The preceding examples return the first page that was added; all other added pages follow this page. You can therefore reference any of the added pages by incrementing the Index property of the returned page:

Dim firstNewPage As Page, secondNewPage As Page

Set firstNewPage = AddSomeSimplePages

Set secondNewPage = ActiveDocument.Pages(firstNewPage.Index + 1)

If you want, you can use event handlers to respond to events that are triggered by creating a page:

•

Document.PageCreate
