  • Article

expression.ConvertPublicationType(Value)

expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Value   Required PbPublicationType. The type of publication to which you want the publication converted.

PbPublicationType can be one of these pbPublicationType constants.
pbTypePrint
pbTypeWeb

Remarks

When a publication is converted, any settings that apply to its previous type remain, but are ignored. For example, converting a print publication to a Web publication results in any advanced print settings being ignored. If the publication is converted back to a print publication, the settings take effect again.

Use the PublicationType property of the Document object to determine the publication type of a publication.

Example

The following example determines if the active publication is a print publication. If it is, the publication is converted to a Web publication.

Sub ChangePublicationType()
    With ActiveDocument
        If .PublicationType = pbTypePrint Then
        .ConvertPublicationType (pbTypeWeb)
        End If
    End With
End Sub
