Macro for View/Header (Word 2002,SR2)

[acerfmayer]

I am trying to record a macro that takes me to View/Header. I have
Sub ViewHeader()

If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial <> wdPaneNone Then
ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close
End If
If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Or ActiveWindow. _
ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView Then
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
End If
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
End Sub

This does not allow me to Close the H/F toolbar and work in the document. What piece of code do I need to insert, please.

Thank you very much,

Acer

The problem is that ViewHeader is the name of one of Word's built-in commands. Having a macro of the same name hijacks the built-in command and this causes confusion. If you rename the macro to (for example) GoToHeader, the problem should be gone.

Hans -

The problem is indeed gone. It did not occur to me check if that name had been "taken." Obvious, tho.

Many thanks!
