Current Section, Page (Word XP)

Hi All, I need to know the current section and page number so that I can put together a complicated print range involving sections, pages, etc. More details later on why. I’ve searched a few posts and haven’t found much. I can get the total number of sections

	activedocument.sections.count

but not the current section.

Selection.Information(wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber) returns the page number as it will be printed*.
Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) returns the “physical” page number*.
Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber) returns the section number.

* I.e. if you have set page numbers to start with 4, the second page in the document will return
Selection.Information(wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber) = 5
Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) = 2

Thanks Hans. That raises the question (using your “set page numbers to start with 4”) … to print the second physical page, do I need to put in 2 or 5 in the print range box on the print dialog?

The number as displayed, i.e. 5.

Thanks Hans. As promised, I wanted these two items so that I could modify Jscher’s DNP macro post 475636 so that I only get 1 print job.
