WORKAROUND

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro inserts a Next Page section break, and turns off Same As Previous for the header in the new section:

  Sub InsertSectionTurnOffSameAsPrevious()

      Dim hHeader As HeaderFooter
      Dim iSection As Integer

      ' Insert Next Page section break.
      Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage

      ' Get current section number.
      iSection = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber)

      ' For each Header type in the current section,
      ' turn off Same As Previous.
      For Each hHeader In ActiveDocument.Sections(iSection).Headers
         hHeader.LinkToPrevious = False
      Next hHeader

   End Sub
				

The following sample macro turns off Same As Previous for all headers and footers in the document.

   Sub TurnOffSameAsPrevious()

      ' Create variables.
      Dim sSection As Section
      Dim hfHeaderFooter As HeaderFooter

      ' Go to each section in the document.
      For Each sSection In ActiveDocument.Sections

         ' Turn off "Same As Previous" in all Headers.
         For Each hfHeaderFooter In sSection.Headers
            hfHeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False
         Next

         ' Turns off "Same As Previous" in all Footers.
         For Each hfHeaderFooter In sSection.Footers
            hfHeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = False
         Next

      Next sSection

   End Sub
