Opening a word document from excel and goto a specific page - question

I have an Excel document which I have inserted some VBA code to open a word document;

But I also want it to navigate to a page of my choosing, in this example, I have chosen page 8 as a random example;

But this just opens up the document and goes to page 29, which happens to be 'section' 8

I also tried this;

But the debugger stopped it because it thinks that there is a syntax error

Could someone please explain the full method and give an example of the code that you place in Excel to open up a word document and navigate to a specific page

BTW - the same question has been asked here;

Many thanks for the response, however, I copied and pasted the code from above and pasted it underneath the code that opens the word document, the code opened up the word document, but I got an error that said;
Runtime Error '424':
Object required

and the debugger stopped at the line with the following code;

I think the debugger has a problem with the name 'ActiveDocument', I believe that this is not a valid Excel VBA object (although I could be wrong).

Some of the advice I have already received is from people who are trying to make the document go to a certain page by using code within Word, however, I am trying to make Word do things from within Excel. I don;t even know if its even possible.

I have some reasonable experience with VBS, but some of these lines VBA lines of code contain all manner of attributes which I have no idea what they do or what contextual format what they should be in, so essentially, I am a bit of a noob, so please excuse my ignorance

As I said, "try something based on" - I didn't say to use the code as-is. You need to replace 'ActiveDocument' with whatever variable you're using to identify the document. The code you've posted so far doesn't show that; only what you're using for the Word application (WordApp). Alternatively, you might be able to use 'WordApp.ActiveDocument'.
