Convert automatic numbers to real numbers and vice versa
Silly me. I thought that this would lead to a suggestion box and not a
diversion to some discussion group. This is about as helpful as a typical response to a help question. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Well, you can get to another suggestion portal at
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp, but you'll get less feedback there. Since you haven't actually proposed a suggestion (aside from the hint in your subject line), it's hard to respond. However, it is possible to convert auto numbering to "hard" numbers as follows (courtesy of Stefan Blom): To convert autonumbering (paragraph/outline numbering and LISTNUM fields) to plain text, do the following: Make sure the active document is the one you want to convert. Then press ALT+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. On the View menu, click Immediate Window. In the Immediate Window, type ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and press ENTER. Note that if paragraph/outline numbering was applied with styles, it isn't completely gone (CTRL+Q will bring it back!) unless you also clear it from the style definitions. -- Suzanne S.
