I often write a particular type of technical document in which each paragraph
is numbered (using auto-numbering, so that I can insert new paragraphs and
not have to re-number the whole document). Is there a way, when I'm sure
that I won't need to make any changes, that I can have the variable paragraph
numbers repalced with their current value? I am asking because someone else
wants to be able to copy some of my paragraphs into a new Word document
without losing the paragraph number.

Thanks,
Mike

The following macro should do the trick

Sub NumbersAutoToText()
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText
End Sub

Test it on a *copy* of the document.

Be aware, however, that if the numbering is defined as part of the style, it
will reappear if the paragraph style is reset.
