word UDF pagebreak - (Moved)

[pocs-105835]

Simple question but can't get my head around it

The word marcro for a page break (section -> next page) is

Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak

But how do I translate this into autoit?

 

    $oRange = _Word_DocRangeSet($oDoc, -2) ; Set the Range start to the end of the document
    ; Heading 1
    $oRange.InsertBefore(_StringTitleCase($Filename))
    $oRange.Style = $wdStyleHeading1

    $oRange.InsertParagraphAfter()
    $oRange.Selection.InsertBreak ?

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

The equivalent to a selection in the Word GUI is a range object in COM (as used by the Word UDF).
So use _Word_DocRangeSet to specify the location where to insert the page break. The "Scene 3" example in the help file for _Word_DocRangeSet explains how to do for a line break.

BTW: You posted in the wrong forum, please use the General Help and Support forum for future questions. I will ask a Mod do move this thread.

Got it!

it's between brackets where $wdPageBreak is a global microsoft constant.

$oRange.InsertBreak($wdPageBreak)

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:
