Imagine what might happen when a new user starts copying & pasting answers to use as 'templates' for new question/answer sets and doesn't appreciate the subtleties... What do you suppose might happen if a paragraph in the 'last answer style' is deleted or duplicated!

Was playing with Find/Replace today

Could do your code in Macro with find/replace

Tried on attached document.

1. Find Question_Style and replace it with ^p^&

2. Find ^p^p and replace it with ^p###^p
3. Change ### to be in normal style
4. Replace ### to nothing!

Find/Replace is powerful!

Looked at your forum posts; wish to be competent in Macro; I've some programming background but I know nothing in VBA; from where do you suggest me to begin? any online tutorial/video/etc??

Indeed. And your approach could likewise be turned into a macro.

There are some useful texts on VBA programming you might read, published by companies like O'Reilly Media & XML Press, but I haven't read any such publications in recent years and, so, don't know what's current. Most such texts are for Access & Excel, though - few pay much serious attention to Word.
