But I also want it to navigate to a page of my choosing, in this example, I have chosen page 8 as a random example;
WordApp.Selection.Goto wdGoToPage, wdGoToNext, , 8 ' trying to go to page 8
But this just opens up the document and goes to page 29, which happens to be 'section' 8
I also tried this;
Selection.Goto What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToNext, Name:="8"
But the debugger stopped it because it thinks that there is a syntax error
Could someone please explain the full method and give an example of the code that you place in Excel to open up a word document and navigate to a specific page
BTW - the same question has been asked here;
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-q...d-go-page.html
so you could either answer here or on the other thread, I don't mind
is it possible to sample word document that can be test. If you could post it on some public file share site like speedyshare.com and post back link to the ACTUAL FILE back here
I tried using a working document and it would go to section instead of page.
when I use a blank document with lets say 5 pages, it always went to page 1.
I used several different lines of code and they all went to page 1 on the blank document;
Word Developer Reference
Document.GoTo Method

Syntax
expression.GoTo(What, Which, Count, Name)
expression Required. A variable that represents a Document object.
Parameters
Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
What Optional. Variant .
The kind of item to which the range or selection is moved. Can be one of the WdGoToItem constants.
Which . Optional. Variant.
The item to which the range or selection is moved. Can be one of the WdGoToDirection constants.
Count . Optional. Variant.
The number of the item in the document. The default value is 1. Only positive values are valid. To specify an item that precedes the range or selection, use wdGoToPrevious as the Which argument and specify a value for the Count value.
Name Optional. Variant.
If the What argument is wdGoToBookmark, wdGoToComment, wdGoToField, or wdGoToObject, this argument specifies a name. Only positive values are valid. To specify an item that precedes the range or selection, use wdGoToPrevious as the Which argument and specify a value for the Count argument.
Remarks
When you use the GoTo method with the wdGoToGrammaticalError, wdGoToProofreadingError, or wdGoToSpellingError constant, the Range that's returned includes any grammar error text or spelling error text.
Too Much detail to add here. See the help and you will find all you seek
