Default Extract specific paragraphs from Word main document on regular basis

Dear All,



I was wondering if I can get your expertise on an issue that I have
I’ve got a gigantic Word document that I use as a source of info to create reports. This document contains paragraphs that are organise in Headings 2, and every now and then I create reports from individual users by copying specific headings (and its paragraphs contents) that are relevant to them into a new document that I submit to the users

For example, user 1 may need only 50 sections of the main document, while another user may need 30, and another user only 80. At the moment, what I do is to copy and paste from the gigantic main document into a new document those sections that are relevant to the user, and my question whether there will be a better way of doing this?

Perhaps a macro that, upon calling it, will present me all the heading so that I can select the relevant ones and paste them (together with the paragraphs contents of the headings) into a new word document? Or perhaps using something new all together? Like having the main Word document into Excel or MS Database, from where I program can present me via checkboxes which sections I want to extract into a new document?

Any help or advice you can give me to develop this will be much appreciated!
Thank you
