Question

I’ve been searching the internet on how to get the page breaks in a word doc but to no avail. Microsoft offers little help on this topic. I’d appreciate any help in getting the number of page breaks using word interop. I’m using winform.
Thanks

You can count the page breaks by searching for ^012, like so:

            int totalPageBreaks = 0;
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range rng;

            rng = doc.Range();
            rng.Collapse(WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseStart);

            while (true) {
                rng.Find.ClearFormatting();
                rng.Find.Text = "^012";
                rng.Find.Forward = true;
                rng.Find.Wrap = WdFindWrap.wdFindStop;
                rng.Find.Format = false;
                rng.Find.MatchCase = false;
                rng.Find.MatchWholeWord = false;
                rng.Find.MatchWildcards = false;
                rng.Find.Execute();

                if (!rng.Find.Found)
                    break;

                // increment counter
                totalPageBreaks++;

                // do some processing here if you'd like

                // reset the range
                rng.Collapse(WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd);
            }
