How do I programatically change the layout of a Word 2010 document?

Question

We have an application that reads Word documents and imports them into our file format.

A recent bug was found that the page count is only available in Page Layout View, however Word 2010 defaults to Web Layout.

Using .NET c# how can we change the view to give us back the page count?

Answer 1

I believe the property you are looking for is Document.ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView; You can read more in this on MSDN.
