Finding Out What the Current Section Is

[Larry Lutz]

For the life of me, I can find a way to determine what section of the
document the current selection is in. It seems like a simple task, but
somehow, I just can't seem to get the syntax right. I'm using a macro to
build a document, and I want it to do one thing if the current selection is
in Section 2 of the document and something else if it isn't, as in:

If Current Section = 2 then
Do one thing
Else
Do something else
End If

I need this macro to work in Word 2000, XP, and 2003. (We can't seem to get
everyone on the same version.) Any help that you can give will be most
appreciated.
