Need help with oWord page break code

[MARY GIRARDOT]

Hi,
I am working with oWord com example under pbcc4 and
am trying to import text file which is simple fixed width font.
I need help with code to do a page break - also any ideas
on how to specify ms word template (.dot) to us for the text
import document. Appears the program is using default
Normal.dot template. Can I specify a different template to
pull the text in.
Thanks for all you help,
Mary

Mary,

Here's a small part of a procedure that prints a rather lengthy document. It has some useful stuff in it about changing the font, page margins, etc. In terms of page breaks this works...

vType=%wdPageBreak
Object Call oWordSel.InsertBreak(vType)

Here is the larger piece...

Sub PrintToWord(iCt As Long)
  Local strFldSp As String * 35, strFldVol As String * 10
  Dim oPageSetup As WordPageSetup
  Dim vBool As Variant, vVnt As Variant, vFileName As Variant
  Dim vText As Variant, vFileFmt As Variant
  Dim strLine As String, strFontName As String
  Dim sngFontSize As Single, sngLeftMargin As Single
  Local i As Long, iLength As Long
  Local szLocalName As Asciiz * 41, szLocation As Asciiz * 150
  Local strString1 As String, strString2 As String
  Local szText As Asciiz*400

  Set oWord = WordApplication In "Word.Application"
  If IsFalse IsObject(oWord) Then
     Set oWord = New WordApplication In "Word.Application"
  End If
  Let vBool = 1
  Object Let oWord.Visible = vBool
  Object Call oWord.Documents.Add To vVnt
  Set oWordDoc = vVnt
  vFileName = "C:\Tallies\Documents\Prospectus.doc"
  Object Get oWord.Selection To vVnt
  Set oWordSel = vVnt

  'Page Setup  ''Should Be 89 characters accross at Font = 10
  Object Get oWordDoc.PageSetup To vVnt
  Set oPageSetup = vVnt
  vVnt = 36
  Object Let oPageSetup.LeftMargin = vVnt
  Object Let oPageSetup.RightMargin = vVnt
  vVnt = 36
  Object Let oPageSetup.TopMargin = vVnt
  Object Let oPageSetup.BottomMargin = vVnt
  'Set Font Name And Size
  Object Get oWordSel.Font To vVnt
  Set oFont = vVnt
  strFontName = "Courier New"
  Let vVnt = strFontName
  Object Let oFont.Name = vVnt
  sngFontSize = 10.0
  Let vVnt = sngFontSize
  Object Let oFont.Size = vVnt
  Let vBool = 1
  Object Let oFont.Bold = vBool
  vText = "                               Commonwealth of Pennsylvania"
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeText(vText)
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeParagraph
  vText = "                     Department of Conservation and Natural Resources"
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeText(vText)
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeParagraph
  sngFontSize = 12.0
  Let vVnt = sngFontSize
  Object Let oFont.Size = vVnt
  vText = "                            Bureau of Forestry"
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeText(vText)
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeParagraph
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeParagraph
  sngFontSize = 13.5
  Let vVnt = sngFontSize
  Object Let oFont.Size = vVnt
  vText = "                            PROSPECTUS"
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeText(vText)
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeParagraph
  Object Call oWordSel.TypeParagraph
  sngFontSize = 10.0
  Let vVnt = sngFontSize
  Object Let oFont.Size = vVnt
  Let vBool = 0
  Object Let oFont.Bold = vBool

Added later...perhaps someone else can help you with templates. I spent a number of hours fooling with them and couldn't get them to work.

Added yet later... hadn't looked at that code in a long time! I see there were some globally defined interfaces there. Here they are...

Global oWord As WordApplication
Global oWordDoc As WordDocument
Global oWordSel As WordSelection
Global oFont As WordFont
