Hi,

I'm writing a macro in Microsoft Word 2010. The macro itself is inserting and deleting bookmarks based on user inputs in an excel document.

There is one table in this document that is 6 pages long and I adjusted the orientation to Landscape for these pages only. The rest of this document is portrait.

When I run my macro, everything runs correctly but it changes these few pages orientation back to portrait. Is there any kind of code I can insert in the code to prevent the page setup from changing?

Or, if not, a way to tell the word VBA to adjust the orientation from page # - #

Thanks!

Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Word shouldn't arbitrarily be changing your page orientation. I'm going to assume that when it's deleting a bookmark, it's also deleting a section break that's being used to change the page orientation.

Starl,

Yes, you are correct! Thank you!

The issue is that one of the section breaks for this orientation change had an extra paragraph right before it. I have a piece of code at the end to delete all extra paragraphs and this was getting deleted. Deleting the paragraph before the section break eliminated this issue.
