Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you use the following Visual Basic for Applications command,

   ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Next.Activate

while in Document Map view, Word does not switch between the document pane and the navigation pane.

CAUSE

By design, Word considers Document Map view to be a single pane.

To programmatically navigate a document by headings, use one of the following examples:

To move to the Next browse target

   With Application.Browser
      .Target = wdBrowseHeading
      ' Move to next Browse Heading
      .Next
   End With

To move to the Previous browse target

   With Application.Browser
      .Target = wdBrowseHeading
      ' Move to previous Browse Heading
      .Previous
   End With

Before ending the macro, you may want to return to the Browsing Target that was in use prior to and after changing the Browsing Target. The following example demonstrates how to do this:

   Sub BrowseByHeading()
      Dim iCurrentBrowse As Integer
      'Store current browse mode
      iCurrentBrowse = Application.Browser.Target
      'Set new browse mode
      With Application.Browser
         .Target = wdBrowseHeading
         ' Move to next Browse Heading
         .Next
      End With
      'Return to stored browse mode
      Application.Browser.Target = iCurrentBrowse
   End Sub
