To programmatically navigate a document by headings, use one of the following examples.

Procedure to Move to the Next Browse Target

   With Application.Browser
      .Target = wdBrowseHeading
      ' Move to next Browse Heading
      .Next
   End With

Procedure to Move to the Previous Browse Target

   With Application.Browser
      .Target = wdBrowseHeading
      ' Move to previous Browse Heading
      .Previous
   End With

Before ending the procedure, you may want to return to the browsing target that was in use prior to and after changing the Browsing Target. The following example demonstrates how to do this:

   Sub BrowseByHeading()
      Dim iCurrentBrowse As Integer
      'Store current browse mode
      iCurrentBrowse = Application.Browser.Target
      'Set new browse mode
      With Application.Browser
         .Target = wdBrowseHeading
         ' Move to next Browse Heading
         .Next
      End With
      'Return to stored browse mode
      Application.Browser.Target = iCurrentBrowse
   End Sub
