I don't know how Word VBA works or how to make a macro, but I'll try to explain the task I have in mind.

Basically I'd have one MS Word document with lots of paragraphs, I'd use a macro like the one you made to get all the paragraphs that have a certain word, then I'd transfer them to a blank (or already saved) MS Word document so they're all together.

Or, a way to have them all moved to the bottom of the first document all at once. That way it's just a one click-and-drag away from getting them all selected together for a cut and paste onto the second document, instead of multiple times just to get everything where I want it.

The thing that always slowed me down is the 'unselected' paragraphs between the selected ones getting in the way of cutting and pasting more at a time. I deal with a LOT of paragraphs covering many different subjects, and sometimes they're so scattered that I'm cutting and pasting one paragraph at a time. So the prospect of ways to make the process even slightly faster interests me a lot~

Thank you for being patient with me and my less than simple problem :]
