Word Advanced Course - Macros

How do you insert a page number as part of a macro or is this not possible? There was difficulty with this on the day of the course.

RE: Word Advanced Course - Macros

Hello Jenny,

I believe you are using 2007.

I have created a Macro in that version without any problems.

Macros only record your actions (Click Insert tab, selct the page number of your choice from the Headers & Footers group). Some companies do have security levels that prevent you from using macros but I would try to create it again making sure that your Macro name has no spaces & does not use the name of any Word command and that it is saved to be available to all Word documents.

The problem on course may have been to do with the fact that we have multiple versions of the packages on our training machines which sometimes causes a conflict which would not occur on a regular machine.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Ruth

Word tip:

Using Styles to create a header or footer.

Write your main title for the following pages in your document, i.e. Chapter 1, and apply a style to this title (Heading1 perhaps). Open your header using View-Header and Footer. Next choose Insert-Field and select the field named Styleref. In the next column headed "Style Name" select the style name that you applied to your main title. (Heading1 perhaps). Then press "OK". Your Header will now read Chapter 1 and will do so until you type in your next title i.e.Chapter 2 and apply the same style again to that new title.
