Jean-Guy,

Thanks so much. This works great...sorta. The words are always followed by
a colon. It looks like this:

Recommendations:

1.dsfds
2.sdfdssd
3.dsfds

Discipline:

1.dsfsdfds
2.dsfdsa
3.sdfsdf

When I add colons to the string search, it doesn't find the words. When I
remove the colons, it inserts the section break between the word and the
colon. Any help on this?

TIA,
Jason

This should get you started:

'_______________________________________
Const LookFor As String = "Recommendations and Discussion"

With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = LookFor
With .Font
.Name = "Times New Roman"
.Bold = True
.Size = 11
End With
Do While .Execute
With .Parent
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.InsertBreak wdSectionBreakContinuous
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With
Loop
End With
