Question

I’m having a problem in MS Word interop. I’m using VC++, but I’ll accept suggestions in C# as well.

In a word document having a page number given in the footer when I use the SaveAs method I am getting a random page number instead of the correct can any one can help me.

I’ve also tried using PageNumbers.GetStartNumber and Range.GetInformation methods with no luck.

How to get the actual page number which is in footer from Word?

Thanks, I was able to solve it using this code. in VC++

Selection oSelection = m_oApp.GetSelection();
Sections ss = oSelection.GetSections();
Section s = ss.GetFirst();
HeadersFooters hf = s.GetHeaders();
HeaderFooter hfItem = hf.Item(1);
PageNumbers ps = hfItem.GetPageNumbers();

//to get the First pageNumber

long nNo = ps.GetStartingNumber();
HeadersFooters footers = s.GetFooters();
HeaderFooter footer = footers.Item(1);
Range r = footer.GetRange();

//to get the First page footer text
CString strFooterText = r.GetText();
