Hello all,
I guess this is technically a "Publisher" questions but I could not find the board for it so I have put it here because I am trying to control Publisher from Excel.
I am able to open a file in Publisher from Excel and perform a mailmerge function on this file so that it exports to a new document:
[vba]Sub OpenPubDoc(FilePath)
Dim pApp As Publisher.Application
Dim pDoc As Publisher.Document
Dim pMailMerge As Publisher.MailMerge
Set pApp = New Publisher.Application
Set pDoc = pApp.Documents.Application.Open(FilePath)
Set pMailMerge = pDoc.MailMerge
If pMailMerge.DataSource.ConnectString <> "" Then
pMailMerge.Execute pause:=False, Destination:=pbMergeToNewPublication
End If
End Sub[/vba]
I am happy with the result this gives me as I would like the user to save this document for future reference once we are at this stage.
My problem is that this document produces a set of labels and whenever I go to print in this newly created document it is set to print to a single page instead of printing "Multiple Pages per Sheet".
I do not want this document to automatically print so I can't use the pbprintstyle piece of code to do this (I don't think?!?), all I want to do is change the setup for this new document so that if the user did go to print the settings would be correct already for them!
I also need to change the paper type so if this can be included in the same code that would be greatly appreciated!
I did find a piece of code as below:
[vba]With Publisher.ActiveDocument.PageSetup
.MultiplePagesPerSheet = True
End With[/vba]
But when I tried this I got an error message (I did see that the "MultiplePagesPerSheet" option is "Hidden" in Publisher 2007 but I couldn't see a reason why this would throw up an error.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with!
Best regards,
Dan
