Default Macro for tagging and rearranging selected text for revision

Hi all,



I am a newcomer to the forum and to VBA. I want to learn it though and am wondering if anyone with knowledge could let me know if what I want to do is possible and steer me in the right direction.

What I want to do is create a macro or add-in that allows the user to revise longer documents by flagging or tagging like sections and then recombine them.

Say I have four paragraphs and two of them address Topics A and B. I want to be able to select and tag (preferably with a key command) all the sentences that refer to topic A and then topic B. I want to then be able to hit a button that cuts the tagged text for a given tag and then combines it together in a new paragraph wherever my cursor is placed.

I know I could just copy and paste, but with longer projects this gets much more complicated, and this would greatly improve the workflow.
