Word automation
-
This is more Word related than COM related, so I hope you don't mind me asking... I am using automation of MS Word to build a Word document, and would like to add footers which contain the page number, in the format [some text] [page number] [some text]. It seems to be that you can set the text of the header and footer using
HeaderFooter::GetRange()and thenRange::SetText(),and you can add a page number to the footer usingHeaderFooter::GetPageNumbers()and thenPageNumbers::Add(), but you can't marry up the text and page number. Any ideas on how I can tackle this. Alternatively, does anyone know of any good books that cover word automation to this sort of depth? Thanks in advance! -

Thanks in advance!Have actually found the solution now (not ten minutes after asking :rolleyes: ), but thought I would post the solution as opposed to deleting the thread, in case anyone else had the same problem :) Instead of adding to the PageNumbers collection, all you need to do is add a field of type wdFieldPage to the header / footer range. Simple really :)
