Default If Then and Copy/Paste

Good morning,

I am really new at programming in excel -- I've recorded a few macros, but
now I am needing functionality that is going to require me to program
something. I was hoping to find some help...

I've got a worksheet in a workbook that contains column values that are
numbered like this:

1.
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4 (ect)

The column to the right of this column is blank, and the column next to the
blank column contains task type information. For the tasks numbered 1. (with
no subnumber), the data in the task column is essentially a heading (if you
are thinking in terms of project management, that information is a summary
task).

I need to have a function that will run through my column (it is column b)
and any time it hits a summary number 1. , 2. , 3. , 4. (ect) I need it to
look to the right 2 columns and pull that summary data and do 2 things with
it:

1. Copy and paste it onto another worksheet (I need the number, the blank
column, and the summary task -- so three columns).
2. Copy the summary task data and put it in the blank column for the non
summary tasks.

It kind of looks like this right now:

Area AreaName Task
1. SITE SETUP
1.1 Plans, permits, and special engineering
1.2 Site prep - removal of topsoil
1.3 Job shack and other rentals
2. DEMO
2.1 Remove exsisting hot tub
2.2 Demo patio and haul
3. POOL
3.1 Supply new pool


This is what I want it to look like:

Area AreaName Task
1. SITE SETUP
1.1 SITE SETUP Plans, permits, and special engineering
1.2 SITE SETUP Site prep - removal of topsoil
1.3 SITE SETUP Job shack and other rentals
2. DEMO
2.1 DEMO Remove exsisting hot tub
2.2 DEMO Demo patio and haul
3. POOL
3.1 POOL Supply new pool

Does that make sense?

Thanks in advance - this will make my life SOO much easier!
