You know how to insert breaks in your text manually, but you can also do the same thing under control of your macro. The InsertBreak method inserts any type of break in your document. The syntax is:
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=BreakValue
where BreakValue is one of the following values:
BreakValue | Result | |
---|---|---|
wdPageBreak | Page break | |
wdColumnBreak | Column break | |
wdSectionBreakNextPage | Next-page section break | |
wdSectionBreakContinuous | Continuous section break | |
wdSectionBreakEvenPage | Even-page section break | |
wdSectionBreakOddPage | Odd-page section break | |
wdLineBreak | Line break |
