Returns or sets the width of the page for the whole document or for a document's section. The [SectionCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/sectioncurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property determines the part of the document. The property returns -1, if more than one section is specified through the [SectionCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/sectioncurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property and these sections' pages have a different width.

### Syntax

TXTextControl.PageWidth [= value]
```

### Examples
