table of contents fix the numbering

[Jef Eekhoorn]

I have one document word XP :
A master document with many chapters and nice chapter numbering in 4 levels
The table of contence is ok

I want now create :
A delta document where only 5% of the chapters have to remain with a little
explanation.

How can I copy the master document,
then delete 95 % of the chapters in this new delta-document,
only keeping the chapters where I note problems discovered during engine
maintenance

AND keeping the old chapter numbering

and top of the bill
getting a new table of contents

Two suggestions, depending really on whether this is a one-off or an ongoing
requirement.

For a delta document that keeps 'in step' with the master, Maintain the
master with the proposed 'deleted' chapters with hidden font. When you print
or display without hidden text, the numbering and the contents will show
only the unhidden sections. In Word XP the numbering will however reflect
the hidden text numbering. When you want the full document text, take the
option to print hidden text, or run a macro to remove the hidden attribute
(don't save, or do this on a copy to maintain the original marking).

Alternatively, take a copy of your master document and convert the numbers
to text before editing. You can do this by typing

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

in the immediate window (Alt-F11 Ctrl-G).
