Convert Word doc to static Word doc like TOC to plain text

[xs400]

I would like to insert a document into another document without Word
renumbering the headings and numbered lists etc. This would also keep
the TOC static.

This is like converting the Table of Contents to text (Ctrl-Shift-F9),
only this would make the entire document text with all the formatting
preserved and static. Is there a way to do this using a Word command?
Or VBA code?
TIA

If we're talking only about freezing auto numbering, then this little
macro should do the trick:

Sub NrsToText()
ActiveDocument.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText
End Sub

Thanks Cindy. That would solve many of the problems associated with appending
one document to another.

I am hoping you could also tell me how to freeze the headings and such to
ordinary (keeping the formatting) text, this way none of the operations on
the main document (the first one) will affect the ones appended to it.

Can you be more specific about what kind of things you have in mind, here?
What, in your case, is special about headings?

Hi Cindy,
My objective is to prepare parts of documents and keep them ready to insert
into a main document (for example, a proposal), such as appendices or sample
documents that would be static in behavior, i.e. no surprises after inserting
the appendix into the proposal. One part of the problem, that you solved,
would have been the numbering. The other may be "active" (I am not sure of
the terminology, but are they the "linked" text that I see in discussions?)
text like headings, which I would like to simply look like headings without
transforming or affecting other parts of the document when inserted.

Hope you can help me out (and many others, who have the same need to insert
one document into the other).

TIA

Since you've posted again, as a separate message, I'll
respond in that message thread. This will
- help others with similar needs find the information
- reduce duplication of effort among those who provide
