Question

How can I change the footer information in a word document with VBA?

When the document is loaded, the VBA code will get the necessary info from a database, and I want to attach that info to the footer.

I got the fetching the info from the DB down, but attaching it to the footer is another story.

Any simple related examples are appreciated.

Answer 1

This will create a header and footer on every page.

With ActiveDocument.Sections(1)
    .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = "Header goes here"
    .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = "Footer goes here"
End With
