Word to Excel Macro Error

J

jlp1782

I wrote the Macro in Excel, and I sometimes get this error, and I do
not understand why. Sometimes it works, and other times, it does not.
I cannot figure out what is going on. Any help is much appreciated!
Scroll down to see where error is!

What the macro does...
It goes to each section with Heading style 1 and highlights that
section to where the section breaks are, then copies that section and
pastes it in an Excel spreadsheet. Each section goes into a new
column. Once it is in the excel spreadsheet, I have it so the common
stuff is matched up.
