    Hi Erjola,

    You can do this in a couple of steps:
    1. Import, or ensure you have, the MS Word VBO from the Program Files
    2. Create a new version of this VBO called "MS Word VBO - Extended" - to align with our best practices
    3. Create a new action called "Count Document Pages" with the following detail:
      1. Inputs: [handle] and [documentName]
      2. Process Flow: Start > Call CheckInstanceHandle Page > Code Stage > End
      3. Code Stage
        1. 'Declare object for code use
          Dim doc as Object = GetDocument(handle,documentName)
          'Returns the number of pages in the document associated with the range (whole document).
          result = doc.Range.Information(4)
      4. Outputs: Result
    This will allow you to count the number of pages, if you need any more actions let me know

    All the best,

    James

    Since @James McLintock went through the work of documenting the code to get the page count, we've gone ahead and updated the official MS Word VBO on the Digital Exchange to include this capability.

    You can find the latest MS Word VBO here.

    NOTE: We went ahead and added actions for getting the count of paragraphs, lines, and words in the document too.

    Cheers,
    ​
