From: Neil Humphries on 11 Feb 2010 10:47 I need to copy numbered paragraphs from multiple documents. The paragraphs are inconsistent and may be numbered using text, MS Word multi-level list styles or listnum fields. I can search the documents, find the needed paragraphs and copy them to a new document, but when I do, the numbering resets according to the destination document's contents. How do I retain the source document's numbering in the destination document so the reader can determine where in the source document the paragraph came from? Can I convert all the numbering to text before pasting without affecting the source documents?
From: Graham Mayor on 12 Feb 2010 02:39 You can convert the numbering to text before copying and it won't affect the original documents provided you don't save them after making the changes.

I just got back from Montreal. Thanks Graham, that works for me since I don't need to save the source files.
