How to paste into another app without line numbers?
Can someone let me know how to paste a line of text in a numbered list from Word to another app and not have it paste in the line number also?
I have tried all the different settings under Options - Advanced - Cut, Copy, and Paste and nothing works. No matter what I update the settings to, the numbering is always copied over along with the text I highlighted. I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) and Office 2010. Thanks, |

Hi Moonf4,
If the line numbers are part of the text being copied, you can't. Assuming there is a consistent amount of space between the margin and the first desired word on each line, what you could do after pasting is to use a block cut, then select all the lines, delete what's left, then paste again - voila! the numbers will be gone. Alternatively, you could use a block cut to delete the numbers at the start of each line. To do a block cut, position the cursor at the first desired character on the first line, hold down the Alt-Shift keys and drag the cursor to the end of the desired range. Then do Ctrl-X. Note, if you've got wrapped lines, change the page layout and/or formatting so that you don't; otherwise the first few character of each wrapped line will be lost. Also be sure to drag the mouse far enough to the right to capture all of the longest line; otherwise it'll be truncated. Another approach would be to use a wildcard Find/Replace after pasting, where: Find = ^13[!A-Za-z]{1,} Replace = ^p
