Autonumbering...how to extract but keep #'s as given

[Artery Studios]

In Word X or Word 98 in our office, we require auto-numbering for filing
purposes on our style headings to list documents and what they contain. ie
1. Letter to ..
2. X-ray Head
3. X-ray Leg etc.

On our original list, every document is numbered from 1 to 30 but for
different departments only particular documents are required and we compile
another list of those by extracting from the original list ie
1. Letter
3. X-ray Leg
( 2. X-ray Head document is removed from list)

Is there a way in Word X and/or Word 98 to preserve/freeze those numbers
when we extract documents from the list so that they don't automatically
renumber when the data is removed? ie in the department list, X-ray Leg MUST
remain 3. for our filing purposes and NOT become 2. when we remove X-ray
Head out of the original list.

Hope I've been clear enough in description..thanks in advance.

Yes.

Select the nnumbering you want to convert and run this macro:

Sub ConvertNumbersToText()
Selection.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText
End Sub
