PageNumbers.ChapterPageSeparator Property

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Returns or sets the separator character used between the chapter number and the page number. Read/write WdSeparatorType.

Syntax

expression.ChapterPageSeparator

expression   An expression that represents a PageNumbers object.

Remarks

Before you can create page numbers that include chapter numbers, the document headings must have a numbered outline format applied that uses styles from the Bullets and Numbering dialog box. To do this in Visual Basic, use the ApplyListTemplate method.

Example

The first part of this example creates a new document, adds chapter titles and page breaks, and then formats the document by using the last numbered outline format listed in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box. The second part of the example adds centered page numbers — including the chapter number — to the header; an en dash separates the chapter number and the page number.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Dim intLoop As Integer
Dim hfTemp As HeaderFooter

Documents.Add
For intLoop = 1 To 5
With Selection
.TypeParagraph
.InsertBreak
End With
Next intLoop
ActiveDocument.Content.Style = wdStyleHeading1
ActiveDocument.Content.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate _
ListTemplate:=ListGalleries(wdOutlineNumberGallery) _
.ListTemplates(7)


Set hfTemp = ActiveDocument.Sections(1) _
.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
With hfTemp.PageNumbers
.Add PageNumberAlignment:=wdAlignPageNumberCenter
.NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleArabic
.IncludeChapterNumber = True
.HeadingLevelForChapter = 0
.ChapterPageSeparator = wdSeparatorEnDash
End With
