How to cut and paste and still retain section heading numbers in a long document
Hi all,
I have a 100 page document divided into five sections. Each section has a Level 3 heading and numerous sub-headings (Level 2 and Level 3). I need to be able to send via e-mail parts of this document to others who are helping write and edit it. But when I highlight a section of the document, and cut and paste just that section into a new blank file, the section numbers change. For example, if I highlight Section 5 (with 5.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, etc in it) and then cut and paste it so I can create a new file to send to one of my editors, the section number in the new file changes from 5.1 to 1.1. I'd like to find a way to keep the original section numbers when I send the document to another. I don't want to have to send the entire 100 page document each time via e-mail, I'd rather just send the section that needs editing help. Is there another way to do this to accomplish my goal? All tips would be greatly appreciated. ....Jason |

How to cut and paste and still retain section heading numbers in a long document
You could just ignore the problem: when you paste the edited material back
into your document, the headings will renumber appropriately. Or if you want the number to look right for them, after pasting into a new document, select the first number, display the bullets and numbering dialog, and set the 'Start at' value. But remember to clear this setting when you paste the matter back into your own document. "Jason Saffer" wrote in message . .. Hi all, I have a 100 page document divided into five sections.

How to cut and paste and still retain section heading numbers in a long document
Thanks very much for this great tip.
I'm also finding that my page numbering is gone. I have the pages numbered like 5-1, 5-2, etc. with the "5" referring to the section number. Any idea how I can also retain the page numbering, other than setting it up again using the View Footer command? Thanks very much! .....Jason "Jezebel" wrote in message ...

Essentially the same answer. Or you could insert a pseudo cover page with 5
section breaks on it. "Jason Saffer" wrote in message . .. Thanks very much for this great tip. I'm also finding that my page numbering is gone.
