PreviousHeaderFooter Method

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

If the selection is in a header, this method moves to the previous header within the current section (for example, from an even header to an odd header) or to the last header in the previous section. If the selection is in a footer, this method moves to the previous footer.

Note  If the selection is in the first header or footer in the first section of the document, or if it's not in a header or footer at all, an error occurs.

Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakEvenPage

    .Type = wdPrintView
    .SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader

End With
