Thanks very much for this great tip.

I'm also finding that my page numbering is gone. I have the pages numbered
like 5-1, 5-2, etc. with the "5" referring to the section number. Any idea
how I can also retain the page numbering, other than setting it up again
using the View Footer command?

Thanks very much!

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.

...Jason
