Copying/pasting without renumbering?

Paul Moloney · Guest

I need to rebrand some document by copying and pasting their contents
into new templates. The documents contain numbered lists. When I paste
the contents of the document into a new document, the lists'
renumbering changes so they are counted as one whole list.

Without having to perform "Restart Numbering" multiple times, can
anyone tell me how to get around this?

Thanks,

P.

You can convert the numbers in the source document to text before printing.
Here's
how to do that (but note that it is safer to do this on a copy of the
document):

Make sure that the document you are converting is the active document in
Word. Then press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to
display the Immediate window. Type the following:

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter.

Note that if numbering was applied via paragraph styles, you will have to
remove it from the style definitions as well (otherwise it can be brought
back by pressing Ctrl+Q to remove paragraph formatting not in styles).

After numbering has been converted to text, copy the contents of the
document and paste it into the target document.
