For more information about how to use the sample code in this article, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: To return to the document view that you were using before you ran the macro, use a Visual Basic for Applications macro that adds the following functionality:

• Dimensions a variable to hold the current view
• Saves the current view into the variable
• Restores the original view when the macro finishes

  Sub ViewHeaderFooterExample()
  
     ' Add this line that dimensions a variable to the recorded macro
     ' to store the current view.
     Dim OriginalView As Long
     
     ' Existing lines in the recorded macro.
     If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial <> wdPaneNone Then
        ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close
     End If
  
     ' Add this line that captures the current view to the recorded macro.
     OriginalView = ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type
  
     ' Remove or comment the following lines in the recorded macro. Note
     ' only three lines are removed or commented. Do not remove or comment
     ' the third line from the following If...End If macro code.
  
     ' If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Or ActiveWindow. _
     '     ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView Then
              ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
     ' End If
  
     ' Existing lines in the recorded macro.
     ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
     ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
  
     ' Add this line that returns the view to the original view to
     ' the recorded macro.
     ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = OriginalView
  
  End Sub
