Inserting a Break with a Macro with WordBasic

Summary: How to insert different types of breaks within a WordBasic macro. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, and Word 95.)

You know how to insert breaks in your text using menu commands, but you can also do the same thing under control of your WordBasic macro. You use the InsertBreak statement, as follows:

InsertBreak .Type = BreakValue

All you need to do is set BreakValue is one of the following values:

BreakValue		Result
0		Page break
1		Column break
2		Next-page section break
3		Continuous section break
4		Even-page section break
5		Odd-page section break

Tip #743 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95

Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
