How can I not renumber?
Rog 21.07.2006 18:28:02
I apologize if this is in a faq some or previous thread.

I need to copy numbered items to a new document and have the numbers not
change. I'm refering to sections in a document and need to preserve the
numbers in my comments. For example if the original says "10.2 - The need for
widget" I need to copy that exact line into a new document without
renumbering or reformating.
Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Roger:

Well, it may be a FAQ, but it's certainly not obvious or intuitive, and it
can only be done with a macro!

Sub ConvertNumbers()
' Converts all numbers to text
Dim doIt As Integer

doIt = MsgBox("This macro converts all automatic numbers in the document to
text. This is a one-time operation. Are you sure?", vbOKCancel)

If doIt = 1 Then
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText
MsgBox "All numbering converted to typed text."
End If

End Sub
