Well, how about first perform the steps to remove numbering and then
copy and paste as a picture?

Create a copy of your document (using either FileSave As or

Windows
Explorer).

Working with the copy, press CTRL+A to select the entire document

and
press F9 to make sure that cross-references and other fields are
updated to show the current result.

The next step is to convert all fields to plain text: Select the
entire document and press CTRL+SHIFT+F9.

Do the following to get rid of all list numbering of your document:
Display the Visual Basic Editor (you can press ALT+F11). On the

View
menu, click Immediate Window. In the Immediate Window, type the
following code:

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press ENTER. Word will convert list numbering to plain text.

Close
the Visual Basic Editor. Note that for numbering applied with
paragraph styles, you should also clear numbering formatting from

the
style definition(s).

Now you can copy and paste with original numbers and

cross-references
preserved.


Zowie! What a process. I am impressed that you even came up with it.

That looks like it will bring the text over as is (wysiwyg), but

won't
protect it from being modified after that. I was hoping for

something
that would capture the text as an image that could be pasted in
without it being able to be modified afterwards.

How come none of the "picture" options of Paste Special bring the

text
over "as is"? That would be the simple solution.
