IncludeText/Insert File as Link + Numbering
Hi there
In Word 2003 I am working on a template ('Base document') to bring in a number of Procedures from separate files using the Includetext field. The procedures use a numbered heading style, which numbers correctly in the base document. However, using normal numbering in the text means that in the base document with a number of different procedures pulled in, the numbering won't automatically restart. The numbering in each procedure continues from the one previous. How can I set it up so that the numbering restarts? Or so that each time we use Heading 2, the numbering restarts? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated |

Restart methods for style-based numbering are discussed in this article:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...artMethods.htm. Note, however, that if you do not intend to edit the numbering further, you can "freeze" it, for each affected document: Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window. Type: ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and press Enter. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "sarah1234" wrote in message ...

Thanks very much for all your help Stefan.
After researching the article plus others, because it is for a template and due to development time constraints, we have modified the style to have no numbering and we will number manually.

You are welcome.
Indeed, sometimes manual numbering is the easiest approach, especially for short, structured documents. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "sarah1234" wrote in message ...

Stefan (or anyone really) -
If I chose to go the Alt+F11 then Ctrl+G route, do you know if this would have to be done everytime the "affected document" was opened? I ask because I am creating a manual but may not be the only one editing or adding content to "affected documents" and was wondering if I was going to have to pass this trick onto anyone else.

With the caveat that if there is numbering linked to the style, resetting
the paragraph style (Ctrl+Q) will restore the numbering. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ...

So if someone else went in to edit the document (by adding a step to a
current numbered list) then it would not be numbered? That editor would need to reset the paragraph, make the addition, then "freeze" the numbering? Thanks! "Robert M.
