Applying New Multi-Level List to Existing Document with Manual Numbering and Existing Styles

Guessed · #3 12-12-2020, 03:29 AM

I don't know whether this will work on a Mac but there is a very old WordBasic command that removes the manual numbering. Try this macro on your selected text in your file

Code:

'====================================================
Sub NumberingDeleteHardcoded()
  'Only acts on selected paragraphs
  Dim iResp As Integer
  iResp = MsgBox("This macro will remove all hardcoded paragraph numbers " _
    & vbCr & "from the SELECTED paragraphs. Click OK to continue.", _
    vbOKCancel, "Delete Hard Numbers")
  If iResp = vbOK Then
    WordBasic.ToolsBulletsNumbers Replace:=0, Type:=1, Remove:=1
  End If
End Sub
