This was posted by fellow MVP Jay Freedman, apparently in response to your
identical post in the microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners newsgroup:

Before we go too far astray here, let's agree on terminology:

- When you say "header", do you mean what Word calls a "header" -- an area
at the top of each page, whose contents repeat on each page of an entire
section -- or do you mean "heading", a paragraph somewhere in the page that
has a specific style such as "Heading 1"? These things are very different;
in VBA terms, they belong to different objects and require very different
code.

- When you list numbers like "1,2,3,4" -- assuming you really meant
"headings" and not "headers" -- are you referring to their order in the
document or to the outline level of their styles ("Heading 1", "Heading 2",
etc.)? If the former, then are all the headings in the same style?

Finally, this topic belongs in one of the programming newsgroups, so I'm
setting the Followup field to microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners.
