How to extract headings from Word files to Excel?
I completed my post-graduation in 2013 in the engineering field. Engineering is the application of science and math to solve problems. Engineers figure out how things work and find practical uses for scientific discoveries. Scientists and inventors often get the credit for innovations that advance the human condition, but it is engineers who are instrumental in making those innovations available to the world. I love pet animals such as dogs, cats, etc.

This code first declares a few variables:
doc
is a variable of typeWord.Document
that represents the active document.headings
is a variable of typeVariant
that will contain the list of all the headings in the document.i
is a variable of typeInteger
that will be used to loop through the headings.The code then gets the active document using the
ActiveDocument
property. It then uses theFindAll
method to get all the headings in the document. TheFindAll
method takes four arguments:In this case, we are setting the
matchCase
andmatchWholeWord
flags to true. This means that theFindAll
method will only match headings that are in the same case and that are whole words.The code then creates an Excel spreadsheet using the
Workbooks.Add
method. It then creates a new worksheet using theSheets.Add
method.The code then loops through all the headings in the document. For each heading, the code adds the heading to the Excel spreadsheet using the
Cells
property.To use this code, you would first need to insert it into a new or existing Word VBA project. You would then need to run the code. When running the code, the code will extract all the headings from the active document and add them to a new Excel spreadsheet.
