Actually, Alt+F11 should work just fine in Word 2007. In the Customize
Keyboard dialog box, see which shortcut (if any) is assigned to the
ViewVBCode command; if it's not Alt+F11, chances are a different command
could be assigned instead.

What you suggest did not work. But the following will work.
Alt-F11 won't work in word 2007. You have to go into word options and
activate the developer's tab from "popular" tab. From there, you click
the
developers tab then select VBA. Then you select the imediate window.
Then
type the command you provided.
Also, since autoformat remains on, it would be better at that point to
turn
off auto number formating in the document.
As you can see, it would be better if this whole thing was a click feature
in word 2007.

To convert autonumbering (paragraph/outline numbering and LISTNUM fields)
to
plain text, do the following: Make sure the active document is the one
you
want to convert. Then press ALT+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor.
On
the View menu, click Immediate Window. In the Immediate Window, type
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText
and press ENTER.
Note that if paragraph/outline numbering was applied with styles, it
isn't
completely gone (CTRL+Q will bring it back!) unless you also clear it
from
the style definitions.
The above was written for 2003, 2007 may differ slightly.
Hope this helps

NOT LIKE
auto numbering, how do I convert the auto-numbers to text? That is,
auto-number 7 to just plan 7 text in word 2007?
Thank you
