Default How do I extract section, page & line numbers from word?

Hi kgnoj,

Are the headings formatted using Word's Heading Styles? Where are the line numbers coming from?

I have a Word document comprised of headings, page numbers and line numbers.
For "section", I actually meant headings. My initial intent was to paste into
Excel and retain the line numbering.

What I have done is to save the doc as a text file. I then open the text
file with Excel and added columns for page number and line numbers!

Thanks for your reply!

Hi kgnoj,

Perhaps you could give a bit more detail.

With 'section numbers', for example, are you referring to Sections,as defined by Section breaks in Word, or are you referring to
something else? Also, you need to understand that pages & lines are a fluid concept with Word - to a large extent, both depend on
the paper size page layout (eg margins, headers/footers) and the current printer driver.
