Publisher Developer Reference

Represents a publication.

Example

Use the ActiveDocument property to refer to the current publication. This example adds a table to the first page of the active publication.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub NewTable()
    With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes
        .AddTable NumRows:=3, NumColumns:=3, Left:=72, Top:=300, _
            Width:=488, Height:=36
        With .Item(1).Table.Rows(1)
            .Cells(1).TextRange.Text = "Column1"
            .Cells(2).TextRange.Text = "Column2"
            .Cells(3).TextRange.Text = "Column3"
        End With
    End With
End Sub

You can also write the above routine by using a reference to the ThisDocument module. This example uses a ThisDocument reference instead of ActiveDocument.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub PrintPublication()
    With ThisDocument.Pages(1).Shapes
        .AddTable NumRows:=3, NumColumns:=3, Left:=72, Top:=300, _
            Width:=488, Height:=36
        With .Item(1).Table.Rows(1)
            .Cells(1).TextRange.Text = "Column1"
            .Cells(2).TextRange.Text = "Column2"
            .Cells(3).TextRange.Text = "Column3"
        End With
    End With
End Sub
