Web Layout view − This shows how a document appears when viewed by a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer. Outline view − This lets you work with outlines established using Word’s standard heading styles.ĭraft view − This formats text as it appears on the printed page with a few exceptions. For example, headers and footers aren't shown. The flashing vertical bar is called the insertion point and it represents the location where text will appear when you type. This displays the document information as well as the insertion point location. From left to right, this bar contains the total number of pages and words in the document, language, etc. You can configure the status bar by right-clicking anywhere on it and by selecting or deselecting options from the provided list. This appears as very small arrow in the lower-right corner of many groups on the Ribbon.
As such, if this is a possibility, code will need to be written to detect the Manual Page Break and delete it after the Next Page Section Break has been inserted.
However, if the documents contain a Manual Page Break between pages one and two, inserting the Next Page Section Break will create a blank second page. If the documents you are reformatting via the macro have automatic page breaks, inserting the Next Page Section Break at the end of the first page will cause Word to delete its Automatic Page Break (using the Next Page Section Break to keep the pages separate) and any margin changes you make to the first page will not carry over to the following pages. Automatic page breaks get created when text no longer fits on a page and Word automatically generates a new page. Word has two different types of page breaks: Automatic and Manual. One way it can be created is like this: Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage
A Next Page Section Break, which has the properties of both a section break and a page break, will allow one set of margins for the first page and another set of margins for all pages following it. A Continuous Section Break is used to allow multiple sets of margins within the same page.
