HowTo renumber/reorg lists in document

[Hamburger]

Hi all,

i have a document with lots of numberes lists like

1. (list A)
2. (list A)
3. (list A)

1. (list B)
2. (list A starting with 2 ????)
3. (list A starting with 2 ????)

but - the lists are "mixed" like i show above.

I have to reorder these lists but im new on handle lists.

In the text i can see structures of templates like

"procedurename"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"

"procedurename"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"
"procedurestep"

Every "procedurename" hase to start a new list - starting with 1. counting up

How can i reorganize these lists with VBA?

Any Examples? Any Snipes? Any Hints?

Thanks
Ralf...

Read about lists here:

If you need VBA code, you could record a macro while doing what Shauna tells
you and modify the recorded code.

I get ready documents and i like to create one QE - Code that only
changes the list-assignment. No Changes at any Format etc.

If i see right i change lots of formats and can´t look automaticly at
textstructure with used styles like

Ralf,

Do you want to retain the automatic numbering capability?
Did you read about lists here?:
<http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html>

Especially:
3.2 How to change the indenting or numbering of your headings

If you need VBA code, you could record a macro while doing what Shauna tells
you and modify the recorded code.

Look at these webpages, too.
<http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/WordsNumberingExplained.htm>
<http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/ListRestartMethods.htm>


Are you willing to destroy any automatic numbering capability and just
rewrite over the old numbers?
Then see this webpage, too:
<http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/liststring.htm>

This will convert automatic numbering to text for whatever Word story range
you are in.

Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText

Or for the main story range.
ActiveDocument.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText
