How do I convert auto paragraph numbering to static text numbers? Lagoyu 12/10/2008 4:11:03 PM I have a long policy document which has multi level paragraph numbering (e.g. 1.B.3.d) My need is to be able to extract certain sections of this document into other documents (for reporting) without losing the correct numbering or the formatting of the original document.

Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window. Type ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and press Enter. Copy text and paste into your target document. You will probably have to clear the numbering formatting from the pasted paragraphs (unless you first create a style with the same name but without numbering in the target document). Close the source document without saving. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Lagoyu" <Lagoyu[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7FF3DDFF-4CBB-4CFF-9372-12DC9C404A30[ at ]microsoft.com...
