Outline Format Conversion
I am interested in converting the dynamic formatting in word xp 2002 to
static formatting used in previous versions. The reason I want to do this is to allow excerpts to be taken from a document with the formatting in place. I have not found any built in way to do this. I am intersted in writing a macro to apply this but I do not know how to determine the current format level and designation. How would I go about determining the current outline format (which level and designation such as "A" "B" "1" ect...) for each paragraph. Is this a paragraph property that can be read? I would prefer not to write a routine which defines the format from scratch if I can avoid it. |

There is an easy way to convert Word's autonumbering (which includes
paragraph/outline numbering and LISTNUM fields) to plain text. Make sure that the document whose numbering you want to convert is the active document. Press ALT+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press CTRL+G to display the Immediate Window. In the Immediate Window, type the following: ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and then press ENTER. Word removes numbering formatting and inserts the current numbers as plain text. Note that if you applied numbering with styles, you should also clear numbering from the style definitions; otherwise pressing CTRL+Q will bring it back. -- Stefan Blom "Edd" wrote in message ...
