Can you "freeze" list numbers in Word?
I would like to be able to freeze the automatic numbers produced when
creating numbered lists; that is, convert them to plain ol' text. Is there any way to do this in Word? |

Actually, there is, as follows:
Press Alt+F11 to open the VBA Editor and Ctrl+G to get to the Immediate window. In that window, type: ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and press Enter. If the auto numbers are part of the paragraph style, they will be restored when the style is updated, so make sure to modify the style not to be numbered. -- Suzanne S.

You're welcome. I don't remember who first posted this solution (several
people, probably), but I made a note of it because it's so often requested. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "isaia" wrote in message ...
