Thanks,
I translated the macro to C++ and the approach seems to work quite well. I
first iterate from the end to the start of the document inserting pagebreak
markers (ie. pagebreak bookmarks) with paragraphs. Then I iterate forwards
checking the properties of the paragraph to find the start of a new page.
This works well for paragraphs. However, there is a problem with tables. If
a paragraph is a table and I insert a book mark is the bookmark a property
of the table "paragraph" or the table cell containing a paragraph?
This is an issue since a table can span the page break (ie. a table accross
mutiple pages.)
