You can convert numbers to text in the source document. Press Alt+F11 to
display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate
window. Type

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter.

Copy text and paste into your target document.

You will probably have to clear the numbering formatting from the pasted
paragraphs (unless you first create a style with the same name but without
numbering in the target document).

Close the source document without saving.

I have a long policy document which has multi level paragraph numbering
(e.g.
1.B.3.d) My need is to be able to extract certain sections of this
document
into other documents (for reporting) without losing the correct numbering
or
the formatting of the original document.
