If you are going to write macros anyway, and need the ability to swap
between numbered and unnumbered formats rather than mix and match, then
probably the neatest way of doing this is to use a single set of styles, and
macros to number/unnumber them.

Unnumbering is fairly straightforward - statements like:

ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1").LinkToListTemplate _
ListTemplate:=Nothing

for each of the styles.

Numbering is a bit trickier, as you need to do this in a way that doesn't
build up list templates. Have a look at the code at
http://www.syntagma.demon.co.uk/FAQs...le.htm#example

for the basic model. Ignore the first bit which sets up a specific style -
the main statements you want start at the comment "Create the list template
if it doesn't exist. " You'll need to adapt the code for your styles and
numbering format, and provide a name for your list template. (If you record
a macro of setting up headings from the top level style, following the
manual steps as described in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html
you'll see what parameters you need.)

We have a document template we are developing that has two sets of styles,
one for numbered headers/section and one for unnumbered.

Is there anyway that we can control which styles are shown to the user
based
on say a userform selection where the user picks if they want the numbered
or unnumbered version?

Secondly, is there anyway to replace all the styles throughout a document
from one type to another, so that a macro could possibly be used to change
all the styles from the numbered version to the unnumbered version?
