Numbering question

[Jeff Thomas]

Is there a way to lock the numbering of a document once it's been
established so that if extra paragraphs are entered between the numbered
paragraphs, the numbering is maintained? This is a large document, so
entering continuous breaks everywhere would get messy.

 

[Margaret Aldis]

The ConvertNumbersToText method locks the numbering, though I don't know
what you want or expect to happen to the inserted paragraphs.

If you want to lock numbers in the whole document you can use the following
from the Immediate window

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

You can also be more selective with a range and
..ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText
