Get rid of auto-numbering, but keep the original paragraph numbers
Greetings,
I work with a lot of records that have auto-numbered paragraphs, sometimes quite a few such paragraphs. Details aside, I want to get rid of the auto-numbering in these records without in any way disturbing the original paragraph enumeration of the legacy record. Is there a quick and simple way to do this? If so it is not evident to me. Thanks for your kind attention. qb |

You could use a macro as simple as:
Code:
Sub Demo() ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText (wdNumberAllNumbers) End Sub

Paul's macro is exactly what you need. In case you are unfamiliar with macros:

Note that if numbering was applied through paragraph styles (which is the recommended approach), you will also have to remove the numbering from the style definitions.

Not so - at least, not unless you re-apply those Style definitions.

The OP has already been using macros in multiple threads, which is why I didn't include such a link.

Or if you press Ctrl+Q with the insertion point in one of those paragraphs to remove (other) paragraph-level formatting.
My point was that the numbering formatting is still accessible via the styles, unless you change the style definitions.
