Indeed it does - and you should.

With requirements as complex as yours, you'd do better to make a copy of the original document, then delete anything you don't want. The basic process would be:
1. Format all content as hidden text;
2. Find the desired content and unhide both that and the corresponding paragraph mark;
3. Convert all numbering to static numbering;


4. Find all hidden text and delete it; and
5. Optionally, delete all empty table rows.
There are plenty of threads here for each step. See, for example:
