Hi All!
Is it possible to set page breaks by the value of a cell?
Example:
Cell A50="Page Break". Page break is the inserted in row 50.

Thank you!

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Adds a Page Break above the "Page Break" Row.
Code:
Sub Maybe()
With ActiveSheet
    .ResetAllPageBreaks
    .HPageBreaks.Add (.Cells(.Columns(1).Find("Page Break", , , 1).Row, 1))
End With
End Sub

Hi Jolivanes
This worked when I first tried it but then it stopped. I pasted your code in the sheet again and I still can't get it to work.
I'll try agin in a different workbook.
Thank you!

If it worked initially, something changed to make it not work.
The spelling of "Page Break"? Capitalization? Leading or trailing spaces?
It needs to be exact as in the code.

I understand.
Does changing sheets trigger the macro?

No, it does not.
You have to invoke it.
The code should be in a regular module, not a Sheet module.
If you want the code triggered when changing sheets, you have to let us know.
In Post #3 you said that it worked when first tried. How did you make it work?

I did paste the code in the sheet.
I believe it would work when I clicked on the Page Break Preview.
I will try in a regular module.

Thank you!
