    Sub FindAndCopy()
    
      Dim NewDoc As Document
      Dim Rng As Range
      
        Set NewDoc = Documents.Add
        
        Set Rng = ThisDocument.Content
        
        With Rng.Find
          .ClearFormatting
          .Forward = True
          .MatchCase = False
          .MatchAllWordForms = False
          .MatchFuzzy = False
          .MatchSoundsLike = False
          .MatchWildcards = True
          .Text = "BUC-*  "
        End With
       
        Do
          Rng.Find.Execute
          If Not Rng.Find.Found Then Exit Do
          NewDoc.Content.InsertAfter Rng.Text & vbCrLf
          Rng.Move
        Loop
        
    End Sub
