Default Convert Bullets & Numbers To Fonts

Any idea/code how to have such styles be converted to normal fonts. Sometimes
I need to change the documents' layout for instance having the point-wise
documents be converted to a single paragraph so as to save the space but
still requiring the bullets & numbering to remain present.

Thanx in advance.

Default Convert Bullets & Numbers To Fonts

To convert numbering and bullets to text characters, you can do the
following: Make sure the document that you want to convert is the active
document. Then press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press
Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window. Type

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter.

Note that if the numbering/bullet format was applied with styles, it won't
be completely gone until you have cleared it from the styles (Ctrl+Q will
bring it back).
