using MS Word Styles with objects

[schmitty_k]

I have several very long documents. They have been set up using MS Word STYLES. Is there a way to insert a developer object (e.g., empty picture place holder) after every instance of a particular style (e.g., Heading 1)? This could either be part of the style or just inserted after each instance.

If you insert such an object in the document, then Cut it (and, presumably, the paragraph break following it) from there to place it in the clipboard, you could use Find/Replace, where:
Find = empty, but Heading 1 Style specified
Replace = ^&^c

A macro to do the same thing:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = ""
    .Replacement.Text = "^&^c"
    .Format = True
    .Forward = True
    .Style = wdStyleHeading1
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
  End With
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

You can't do it as part of the style but you can do it with a find and replace.

First create the content you want to add (eg the Picture placeholder)
Select that placeholder and the trailing paragraph mark and cut it (to get it into your clipboard.
Now open the Find and Replace dialog
Find: ^p and include the Format>Style>Heading 1
Replace with: ^&^c

This will find the paragraph mark at the end of all Heading 1s and replace it with itself plus your clipboard contents.

I see Paul got in first and suggested the same thing...
