VBA to parse through a MS-Word doc and modify font of proceeding range with font specified at the top of...

I have a word document containing a table w/ each cell containing a font value and a proceeding string to which I would like to apply that font. In each cell, the font to be applied to the proceeding text appears with "asterisk [FontName] asterisk"



The idea is to have a Macro/VBA which reads in the font value and applies that font to the proceeding block of text within the cell. Then reads in the next cell's font value and applies it to the next block of text. The idea being to repeat this pattern to the end of the doc changing all cell values to the fonts specified at the top of the cell.



The image included shows the starting state and the desired end state. I manually modified these fonts in the end-result to illustrate the desired end-state. In practice, this would be used for a larger document with many more cells/values.
