selecting sections

[robert]

Please excuse the simplicity of this question - I'm new
to this with only the macro recorder as my teacher.

What code will allow me to automate the action of
selecting the contents of a specific section of a
document and copying it to the clipboard?

Thanks
Robert

Robert,

Assuming that the selection was already in that section when you ran the
macro, it would look like this:

Sub CopySection()
Selection.Sections(1).Range.Copy
End Sub

If you can't depend on the selection already being in that section but you
knew, for instance, that it would always be section 3 of a document:

Sub CopySection()
ActiveDocument.Sections(3).Range.Copy
End Sub

Regards,
Chad
