I want my program to control spreadsheet footer contents.
In particular I want to be able to set the font size and use PageNumber and
PageCount fields.
If I use the scalc GUI to set the footer contents and then interrogate the
contents programatically, I see text values such as
&8This text is set to fontsize 8
and
Page &P of &N
Clearly the & character introduces a code that controls font size or is a
placeholder for a field such as the page number.
However, if I set the content of footer text to strings with this format
there is no interpretation of the & codes and I see the exact text that I
set into the footer, e.g. the footer displays as 'Page &P of &N' instead of
'Page 1 of 3'.
On studying the Developers Guide I wondered if I needed to create a
'com.sun.star.text.textfield.PageNumber' object and insert it into the
footer text.
However, I can find no way to create the pagenumber object.
Code such as
Dim field As Object =
doc.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.textfield.PageNumber")
results in a 'com.sun.star.lang.ServiceNotRegisteredException:'
Please can someone give me a clue how to proceed?
