I am interested in converting the dynamic formatting in word xp 2002 to
static formatting used in previous versions. The reason I want to do this is
to allow excerpts to be taken from a document with the formatting in place.
I have not found any built in way to do this.

I am intersted in writing a macro to apply this but I do not know how to
determine the current format level and designation. How would I go about
determining the current outline format (which level and designation such as
"A" "B" "1" ect...) for each paragraph. Is this a paragraph property that
can be read? I would prefer not to write a routine which defines the format
from scratch if I can avoid it.
