I am having some tough time with what is basically fluff, but is important for a nice document. I am writing a Word doc using VBA from Excel. There is one section in the doc. I want to draw a horizontal banner line in the header of every page, and have page numbers in the footer of every page but the first. Problems are: (1) I know how to do something in the header on all pages or in all but the first page, but how do I do these two things simultaneously? and (2) I cannot get the line width right. .Addline does not have a width parameter, and I get an error when I try to set the width property of the document. Any help please? This is Word and Excel 2010, BTW.
