[RESOLVED] Setting border on Coverpage ONLY
I'm using Visual Basic and i'm creating a Word doc and writing to it. I want page borders ONLY on page 1. I used the code below to create the page borders, but when I create them any page after the coverpage also has borders, which I dont want. I've read this thread(http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...=word+sections), but I cant figure out how to reference the second section. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Code:
With objApp.Selection.Sections(1).Borders(WdBorderType.wdBorderLeft)
.LineStyle = WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = WdLineWidth.wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = WdColor.wdColorBlack
End With
With objApp.Selection.Sections(1).Borders(WdBorderType.wdBorderRight)
.LineStyle = WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = WdLineWidth.wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = WdColor.wdColorBlack
End With
With objApp.Selection.Sections(1).Borders(WdBorderType.wdBorderTop)
.LineStyle = WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = WdLineWidth.wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = WdColor.wdColorBlack
End With
With objApp.Selection.Sections(1).Borders(WdBorderType.wdBorderBottom)
.LineStyle = WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle
.LineWidth = WdLineWidth.wdLineWidth050pt
.Color = WdColor.wdColorBlack
End With

Re: Setting border on Coverpage ONLY
put the borders in the first page only header (the header can encompass the whole page)
same as you would a watermark
probably better to work with the document object rather than the selection
something like
Code:
With d.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Borders(wdBorderLeft)
where d is a document
you may also need to set the positions of the borders
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
