Adding a page number to a range using Word.Interop

Question

I want to add a page number to a page range using Word.Interop. I have added the page number using the code below. This code adds page numbers from page 2 to the end of the document (pageNum = 2).

For example, I want to add page numbers from page 2 to page 8. I tried using the 'count' property with Selection.GoTo() but the situation did not change, I am waiting for your help

Code:

private void HeaderOrFooterAddPageNumber(int pageNum, _Application wdApp, _Document doc, Data data, Section section, HeaderFooter headerfooter)
    {

        CheckHeaderOrFooter(doc, section, headerfooter);
        object missing = Type.Missing;

        wdApp.Selection.GoTo(Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToPage, Word.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToFirst, ref missing, pageNum.ToString());
        Range rngPageNum = wdApp.Selection.Range;

        rngPageNum.InsertBreak(Word.WdBreakType.wdSectionBreakNextPage);

        Section currSec = doc.Sections[rngPageNum.Sections[1].Index];
        HeaderFooter ftr = currSec.Footers[Word.WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary];

        ftr.LinkToPrevious = false;
        ftr.PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection = true;
        ftr.PageNumbers.StartingNumber = 1;
        if (!CheckNullOrWhiteSpace(data.PageNumbersNumStyle))
        {
            if (float.Parse(data.PageNumbersNumStyle) == 2) ftr.PageNumbers.NumberStyle = WdPageNumberStyle.wdPageNumberStyleLowercaseRoman;
        }

        object TotalPages = WdFieldType.wdFieldSectionPages;
        object page = WdFieldType.wdFieldPage;
        Range rngCurrSecFooter = ftr.Range;

        rngCurrSecFooter.Font.Name = CheckNullOrWhiteSpace(data.PageNumbersFont) ? "Times New Roman" : data.PageNumbersFont;
        rngCurrSecFooter.Font.Size = CheckNullOrWhiteSpace(data.PageNumbersFontSize) ? float.Parse("12") : float.Parse(data.PageNumbersFontSize);
        rngCurrSecFooter.Font.ColorIndex = CheckNullOrWhiteSpace(data.PageNumbersFontColor) ? WdColorIndex.wdBlack : (WdColorIndex)float.Parse(data.PageNumbersFontColor);
        rngCurrSecFooter.Paragraphs.Alignment = CheckNullOrWhiteSpace(data.PageNumbersFontAlignment) ? WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter : (WdParagraphAlignment)float.Parse(data.PageNumbersFontAlignment);
        rngCurrSecFooter.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseStart);
        rngCurrSecFooter.Fields.Add(rngCurrSecFooter, ref page, ref missing, true);
    }

@Ahta 14 , you could try the following code to add a page number to a page range by using word.interop.

Code:

    string pageNum1 = "2";  
    string pageNum2 = "8";  
    Object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;  
    Word.Application wdApp = new Word.Application();  
    var selection = wdApp.Selection;  
    Word.Document doc = wdApp.Documents.Open("D:\\1.docx");  
    Word.Range startRange = wdApp.Selection.GoTo(Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToPage, Word.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToAbsolute, ref missing, pageNum1);  
    Word.Range rngPageNum = wdApp.Selection.Range;  
    Word.Range endRange = wdApp.Selection.GoTo(Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToPage, Word.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToAbsolute, ref missing, pageNum2);  
    rngPageNum.End = wdApp.Selection.Bookmarks["\\Page"].Range.End;  
    rngPageNum.Select();  
    rngPageNum.InsertBreak(Word.WdBreakType.wdSectionBreakNextPage);  
    Word.Section currSec = doc.Sections[rngPageNum.Sections[1].Index];  
    Word.HeaderFooter ftr = currSec.Footers[Word.WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary];  
    ftr.LinkToPrevious = false;  
    ftr.PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection = true;  
    ftr.PageNumbers.StartingNumber = 1;  
    object TotalPages = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldSectionPages;  
    object CurrentPage = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldPage;  
    Word.Range rngCurrSecFooter = ftr.Range;  
    rngCurrSecFooter.Fields.Add(rngCurrSecFooter, ref CurrentPage, ref missing, false);  
    rngCurrSecFooter.InsertAfter(" of ");  
    rngCurrSecFooter.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd);  
    rngCurrSecFooter.Fields.Add(rngCurrSecFooter, ref TotalPages, ref missing, false);  
    doc.Save();  
    doc.Close();
