reformatting numbering of auto-numbered lists

[Thiers & Barbara Halliwell]

I'm copyediting a medical book containing hundreds of short auto-numbered
lists (1-10 items length). Each number is currently followed by a period
which I'm required to remove throughout the document. I wonder if anyone can
come up with a macro to automate the process and save the tedium of having
to do each list manually. I've already tried F&R and found that it handles
only the manually-numbered items not the auto-numbers.

Use

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

to convert the auto-numbers to text. You can then use F&R.
