Creating a toggle control for Page Break

Post by ABabeNChrist »

I’m trying to come up with a simple and user friendly approach that will help the user to set up page breaks before printing. I thought maybe I could use a toggle button on my Customize Quick Access Toolbar that will open and close page break.
I recorded this to open

Code: Select all

      ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview
And this to Close

Code: Select all

    ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView 
I’m just not sure how to put them together

Try this:

Code: Select all

Sub ToggleView()
  With ActiveWindow
    If .View = xlPageBreakPreview Then
      .View = xlNormalView
    Else
      .View = xlPageBreakPreview
    End If
  End With
End Sub
Best wishes,
Hans

Hi HansV
I tried to use the same approach with Print Preview as with Page Break
I know I’m close. I tried

Code: Select all

With ActiveWindow
If .SelectedSheets.PrintPreview Then
    .View = xlNormalView
    Else
    .SelectedSheets.PrintPreview
    End If
  End With

Code won't work in print preview, so you can't do this.
Best wishes,

Hi HansV
I see what you mean
I think I will just use

Code: Select all

    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintPreview
To open Print Preview and then return to active sheet by just closing from Print Preview close button, simple enought
Thank You

The user can also press the Esc key to close print preview.
Best wishes,

Thank you HansV
I’m planning on creating a simple instructional manual for the use of this workbook / report and the easier I can make it for the user the better.
Thanks again
