Formatting content between headings

[sbrbot]

I'd like my Word macro to pass through a whole Word document and to format content under all headings (level 2) into two columns. Each heading 2 content should become a section formatted into two columns. So content under heading 2 could be followed by next heading 2 or heading 1 (heading + content). It should be formatted in two columns regardless of which heading follows.

Hi sbrbot,

So what code have you got so far and which parts do you need help with?

Agreed. This is possible, but not trivial, and we are not going to just work it out for you. What have you got? What have you tried?

You will definitely need to work out exactly what it is you are going to do. For example, you state:

" Each heading 2 content should become a section formatted into two columns."

Do you really mean "section" as in the way Word views "section"? That is a document structure view. Section can also mean, in many people's mind, a content structure view. These are quite different.

Further, I would assume you actually mean the content after the heading 2 text/content will become columns. But...is that correct? I mean:

Heading text Yadda yadda (one column)[/color red]

(TWO column)[/color red]
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column


Next Heading text (one column)[/color red]

(TWO column)[/color red]
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column
text now as column text now as column

Hi Gerry,

sbrbot has given a more expansive description and some code at:

I've also replies there with some alternative code.
