This is best done using styles. It is actually easier to do than it is to
explain. The key is to use the Next Style choice to set the format of each
heading and paragraph. When copying and pasting special (unformatted text),
each heading and paragraph will follow the order you have set using Next
Style. However, you can only use this until you come to a group of paragraphs
with the same style. You can only paste special to the end of the last of
these paragraphs. Then you must copy and paste special the next group of
headings and paragraphs.
I hope this is a little clearer than mud!
