List all instances of the "Heading 1" style

I'm trying to list every instance of the "Heading 1" style within my document (to eventually list them in a combobox on a form).

The following code appears to find the instances of "Heading 1", as there are the correct number of entries listed within the Immediate Window, but .text is returning nothing.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Dim blnFound As Boolean
Dim i as Integer

i = 1

With ThisDocument.Range.Find
    .Style = "Heading 1"

    Do
        blnFound = .Execute
        If blnFound Then
            Debug.Print i & " " & .Text
            i = i + 1
        Else
            Exit Do
        End If
    Loop
End With

I don't believe the object you have has a .Text property. Selection has a .Text property. Try this:

Sub FindHeadings()
' October 28, 2014
Dim blnFound As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
i = 1
' Set up the find conditions
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1")
With Selection.Find
    .Text = ""
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = True
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, count:=1

'Repeat while you find the style
blnFound = True
While blnFound
    With Selection.Find
        .Execute
        If .Found = True Then
                Debug.Print i & " " & Selection.Text
                i = i + 1
            ' Move to the next character
            Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, count:=1
        Else
            Debug.Print "Done"
            blnFound = False
        End If
    End With
Wend
End Sub
