Using OLE with Perl may help.	[reply]

:-( Well... ... `$obj_sel->InsertBreak({Type => 'PageBreak'}) ;` doesn't look to me like a complete program... Can one assume that you've done all the things necessary to open the document you want to insert a page break into and then select the place at which to insert it ? It's not clear whether your issue is with driving OLE in general or with this method in particular.	[reply] [d/l]
