You could just ignore the problem: when you paste the edited material back
into your document, the headings will renumber appropriately.

Or if you want the number to look right for them, after pasting into a new
document, select the first number, display the bullets and numbering dialog,
and set the 'Start at' value. But remember to clear this setting when you
paste the matter back into your own document.

Hi all,

I have a 100 page document divided into five sections. Each section has a
Level 3 heading and numerous sub-headings (Level 2 and Level 3). I need to
be able to send via e-mail parts of this document to others who are
helping write and edit it. But when I highlight a section of the document,
and cut and paste just that section into a new blank file, the section
numbers change. For example, if I highlight Section 5 (with 5.1, 5.1.1,
5.1.2, etc in it) and then cut and paste it so I can create a new file to
send to one of my editors, the section number in the new file changes from
5.1 to 1.1.

I'd like to find a way to keep the original section numbers when I send
the document to another. I don't want to have to send the entire 100 page
document each time via e-mail, I'd rather just send the section that needs
editing help.

Is there another way to do this to accomplish my goal? All tips would be
greatly appreciated.
