Activating pages

Each page is a member of the Document.Pages collection for the document in which it appears. The pages in a Document.Pages collection appear in the order in which they appear in that document — for example, the fifth page in the active document is ActiveDocument.Pages.Item(5). If pages are added, reordered, or deleted, the affected Pages collection is immediately updated to reflect the new page order of that document.

You can access the active page of the active document by using the Application.ActivePage property (or ActiveDocument.ActivePage, or simply ActivePage). A reference to the active page in the active document, of type Page, is returned.

Dim pg As Page

Set pg = ActivePage

You can access the active page of a document, regardless of whether that document is active, by using ActivePage property for that document:

Public Function getDocsActivePage(doc As Document) As Page

Set getDocsActivePage = doc.ActivePage

End Function

You can switch pages by finding the desired page and then invoking its Activate method. The following VBA code activates page 3 in a document:

ActiveDocument.Pages(3).Activate

If you want, you can use event handlers to respond to events that are triggered by activating a page:

•

Document.PageActivate

You can also use event handlers to respond to events that are triggered by deactivating a page:

•

Document.PageChange
