This article was previously published under Q182784
SYMPTOMS
When you run a macro that opens, modifies, and closes the header or footer, you are returned to page layout view when the macro finishes, regardless of which document view you were using prior to running the macro.
WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To return to the document view you were using prior to running the macro, use a Visual Basic for Applications macro that adds the following functionality:
- Dimensions a variable to hold the current view.
- Saves the current view into the variable.
- Restores the original view when the macro finishes.
Sub ViewHeaderFooterExample()
' Add this line that dimensions a variable.
' to store the current view.
Dim OriginalView As Long ' <-- Add
' Recorded Code.
If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial <> wdPaneNone Then
ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close
End If
' Add this line that captures the current view.
OriginalView = ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type ' <-- Add
' Recorded Code.
If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Or _
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView Or _
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdMasterView Then
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView
End If
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
' Add this line that returns the view to the original view.
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = OriginalView ' <-- Add
End Sub
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
