Copying 2nd line of header

[Tyson Ackland]

How does one programmatically locate the first header in a Word doc and then
copy the second line of text from it for use elsewhere in the VBA code?
TIA!

I need to do the same thing but I don't need the paragraph - I need the
actual line (wherever Word has broken the paragraph into multiple lines.)

In the story, you look for a bookmark called "\LINE" and that get's the next
line. But that doesn't seem to exist in the Header/Footer.

Got any suggestions?

copy the head/foot content to the body of a temp doc and process it
from there

If my answers r 2 terse, ask again or hassle an MVP,
at least they get recognition for it then.
