    How can you add a Heading style to just the first paragraph of a document with VBA?

    Here's one that should be quite useful to a lot of people.

    How would you use VBA to apply a style to just the first paragraph? That is, make everything Heading 1 style, say, up to the first backwards P mark.

    Thanks.

    Option Explicit
    
    
    Sub Macro1()
        ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Style = "Heading 1"
    End Sub

    Remember: Tell us WHAT you want to do, not HOW you think you want to do it

    1. Use [CODE] ....[/CODE ] Tags for readability
    [CODE]PasteYourCodeHere[/CODE ] -- (or paste your code, select it, click [#] button)
    2. Upload an example
    Go Advanced / Attachments - Manage Attachments / Add Files / Select Files / Select the file(s) / Upload Files / Done
    3. Mark the thread as [Solved] when you have an answer
    Thread Tools (on the top right corner, above the first message)
    4. Read the Forum FAQ, especially the part about cross-posting in other forums

    That's it? So simple! :-)

    I didn't realise paragraphs could be referred to by number. Thank you!

    Similarly:
    Sub Demo()
    ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.First.Style = wdStyleHeading1
    End Sub
    Cheers
