Numbered paragraph. Selecting Text and Numbers

[msnews.microsoft.com]

I have some numered paragraphs and i need to copy not just the paragraph
text but also the numbers in one go, to paste them in another document. BTW,
I don´t mind if i loose the format, plain text is OK for my needs.

Thanks

AFAIK you can only do this using a macro to construct the proper text string
and put it in the clipboard. Once in teh clipboard you can paste with the
mouse or menu keys:

Sub MyCopyToClipBoard()
Dim myCopy As DataObject
'Must have a reference to Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library enabled
'to use DataObject. Tools>References. If not listed, try adding a UserForm
to
'your template project.
Dim myRng As Range
Set myCopy = New DataObject
Set myRng = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range
myCopy.SetText myRng.ListFormat.ListString & " " & myRng
myCopy.PutInClipboard
End Sub

FWIW, to copy and then Paste Special (as "Unformatted text") seems to
bring the paragraph number along, too. Any left indent from the list
template is not included, though.

So now I know better. Thanks Stephan.

This obvious, of course. By definition, pasting as unformatted text
means to exclude formatting.
