Yes. Press Alt+F11 to open the VBA editing window, then Ctrl+G to open the
Immediate window. In that window, type or paste this command:

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter.

Suzanne and Greg have explained how to turn numbers into text. But if
numbering comes from numbered styles, you must also clear it from the
style definitions in order to get rid of it completely.
