Examples

// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/excel/54-worksheet/manage-page-breaks.yaml

// Inspect the first horizontal break and locate the cell immediately after it.
await Excel.run(async (context) => {
    const sheet: Excel.Worksheet = context.workbook.worksheets.getItem("Sample");
    const horizontalBreaks: Excel.PageBreakCollection = sheet.horizontalPageBreaks;
    const horizontalCount: OfficeExtension.ClientResult<number> = horizontalBreaks.getCount();
    await context.sync();

    if (horizontalCount.value === 0) {
        console.warn("No horizontal page breaks. Choose Add page breaks first.");
        return;
    }

    const firstBreak: Excel.PageBreak = horizontalBreaks.getItem(0);
    const cellAfterBreak: Excel.Range = firstBreak.getCellAfterBreak();
    firstBreak.load("rowIndex, columnIndex");
    cellAfterBreak.load("address");

    await context.sync();
    console.log("First horizontal page break (zero-based indexes):", {
        rowIndex: firstBreak.rowIndex,
        columnIndex: firstBreak.columnIndex,
        cellAfterBreak: cellAfterBreak.address
    });
});

Properties

columnIndex

Specifies the column index for the page break.

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

rowIndex

Specifies the row index for the page break.

Methods

delete()

Deletes a page break object.

getCellAfterBreak()

Gets the first cell after the page break.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.PageBreak object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.PageBreakData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
