I have a long document (several thousand pages) that has heads using
Heading Style 1 through Heading Style 5. I would like to apply a
style to the body text between Heading 2 and Heading 3.

Is there a way to set up a Find/Replace to do that for me?

*(((({

Not unless there's some unique text in every Heading 2 and Heading 3
heading. Find/Replace lets you find a style, but only one per find. Hence,
you can locate Heading 2 or Heading 3, but not both (and certainly not with
something else sandwiched in-between). Wildcard searches are really good
with text patterns, but limited when it comes to formatting patterns.

It wouldn't be terribly hard to set up a macro to do it, however.

While it was probably harder for me than Herb can imagine, I think I finally
figured it out.

Try:
Sub ApplyNewStyleBetweenTweUniqueStyles()
Dim oRng As Range
Dim oTempRng As Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Content
With oRng.Find
'Look for the Heading 2 text on execute
.Style = "Heading 2"
.Wrap = wdFindStop
While .Execute
'Collapse oRng to end of found Heading 2 text
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
'Set a temporary range that starts at end of Heading 2 text
Set oTempRng = oRng.Duplicate
'Look for Heading 3 text on execute
.Style = "Heading 3"
.Execute
'Collapse oRng to start of Heading 3 text
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart
'Define temporary range that ends where Heading 3 text starts
oTempRng.End = oRng.End
'Apply style
oTempRng.Style = "MyStyle"
'Set execute to look for Heading 2 text
.Style = "Heading 2"
Wend
End With
End Sub

Where "MyStyle" is the name of the style you want to apply.

Wow! That's surprisingly similar to the one that took me 30 seconds to
record.

JUST KIDDING!!!

I love you guys! Thank you. I'll give the macro a try and let you
know how it works. :-)
