Extracting Section Labels and Titles

[kudruu]

Hi there,
I'm sure this is a very beginning question but I have been having
trouble figuring out a function or method in Word that will extract
the numbers and headings from labels I have already created. I want
to be able to move from one section to another and look at specific
text keywords within each of the sections but still keep track of each
section I am in.

If the text is using a particular paragraph style, you can insert a
STYLEREF field into the document header. STYLEREF fields extract the
current text or number of the current text using the specified style.
For more, see the first section of the article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm.

Alternatively, if you are referring to caption labels and caption
numbering, you can modify the settings to include the outline number of
a specific built-in heading: In the Caption dialog box, click Numbering.
Check the "Include chapter number" check box and choose a style.
