Converting automatic numbering to hard text
Is there any way of converting automatic numbering into hard text, keeping
the same numbering sequence. The operator wants to be able to delete certain numbered paragraphs, but keep the original numbering of the others (eg. a list of documents where if some documents are removed, the others will keep their original numbering). Probably should have been put in hard text to start with, but they did not realise at the time some would be deleted. List is almost up to 1000! 1. Document 1 2. Document 2 5. Document 5 (where documents 3 and 4 have been deleted) 6. Document 6 |

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. -- Stefan Blom "kimbo67" wrote in message ...
