Answer 1

It's a bit hard to give you exact advice given the sketchy information that you have provided.

However. to delete a paragraph, you delete the .Range of the paragraph

From the Visual Basic Help file for the Range.Delete method

Deletes the specified number of characters or words.
Syntax

expression.Delete(Unit, Count)

expression   Required. A variable that represents a Range object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Unit Optional Variant The unit by which the collapsed range is to be deleted. Can be one of the WdUnits constants.
Count Optional Variant The number of units to be deleted. To delete units after the range, collapse the range and use a positive number. To delete units before the range, collapse the range and use a negative number.

Return Value
Long

Remarks

This method returns a Long value that indicates the number of items deleted, or it returns 0 (zero) if the deletion was unsuccessful.

Example

This example selects and deletes the contents of the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications
Sub DeleteSelection()
    Dim intResponse As Integer

    intResponse = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to " & _
        "delete the contents of the document?", vbYesNo)

    If intResponse = vbYes Then
        ActiveDocument.Content.Select
        Selection.Delete
    End If
End Sub

-- Hope this helps.
