replace variables (auto-numbered paragraph numbers) with constants
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 http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Test it on a *copy* of the document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org zapspan wrote: 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).

Be aware, however, that if the numbering is defined as part of the style, it
will reappear if the paragraph style is reset. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "zapspan" wrote in message ... Thank you very much, Graham.
