Copying sections of document without losing heading numbers.
I have a very large document with several tiers of headings. I would like to
copy just selected sections of this document, such as section 4.2.6, etc, into a separate document without losing the heading format numbers. Currently when I do this, it copies the format, but begins the numbering back at 1.1.1. Is there a way to do this? |

Copying sections of document without losing heading numbers.
In order to preserve the numbers, you will have to convert them to plain
text: Open the document you are copying from; you may want to Save As so that you don't inadvertently save any changes to the original file. Make sure that the newly created document is active in Word, press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor, and then press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window. Type ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and press Enter. After you've done that, clear the numbering from the style definitions. Finally, copy and paste the text into your target document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "justme123" wrote in message ... I have a very large document with several tiers of headings.
