   Sub SelectHeadingParagraphs()
   Dim tempTable As Paragraph
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   ActiveDocument.DeleteAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
   For Each tempTable In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
   'Debug.Print tempTable.Range.Style & " " & wdStyleHeading2
   If tempTable.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleHeading2) Then
   'Debug.Print "aaa"
   tempTable.Range.Editors.Add wdEditorEveryone
   End If
   Next
   ActiveDocument.SelectAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
   ActiveDocument.DeleteAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True
   End Sub

   Note: This VBA code targets Heading 2. If you need to select a different heading level, replace wdStyleHeading2 with the corresponding heading style.

3. Click the Run button to execute the VBA code.
