Stefan,

Thanks, I guess that will save me some time, but as the lists I want to
change and those I don't are interspersed it will still be many steps. Is
there any way to select just tables or just exclude headings?

In theory, you could use

Sub TestMacro()

For Each t In ActiveDocument.Tables
t.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText
Next t
End Sub

to convert list items in table cells. But note that if there are items of that
same list outside of the table, they will renumber, which is probably not what
you want.

In other words, it would be easier to convert all numbering (although it isn't
exactly what you want to do).
