Automatically updated numbering

[Panos]

I am working on a 600 page document that is broken down into several sections
and sub-sections (1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1 etc), the numbering of which is
automated.

I want to delete certain sections of the document, without having word
automatically updating the numbering, i.e. if I delete section 4.3 I wish
section 4.4 to retain its numbering and not be renamed into 4.3.

How can I deactivate this function?

It is VERY VERY nasty, but you can ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

I believe you cannot undo that--you may want to try it on a copy of the doc
to be sure it meets your needs.

Can't you just hide those sections? or at least delete the text and hide the
paragraphs?
