Selecting unkown amounts of text (W97)

I want to be able to select text between 2 know heading levels (4.0 Requirements and 5.0 Models). The catch is that the number of lines between the two headings may vary. So, via macro, how can I select and delete the “middle” contents?

I’m thinking I should be able to do some type of Find/Replace… – jody

If your cursor is in “4.0 Requirements”, then

BTW: While it’s easy to add or remove stuff from the end of the Selection with Shift + Arrow keys, it’s impossible to add/remove from the start of the Selection.

Your problem is an example where this would be necessary.

For those cases, I have a macro with a keyboard shortcut.
After running the macro, you can edit the start of the selection with Shift + Arrow keys.
Running the macro once more makes the end of the Selection “active” again:

Sub SelectionToggleActiveEnd()
    With Selection
       .StartIsActive = Not .StartIsActive
    End With
End Sub

It comes in handy rather often.
