Changes the list numbers and LISTNUM fields in the specified Document, List, or ListFormat object to text.
Syntax
expression.ConvertNumbersToText(NumberType)
expression Required. An expression that returns a Document, List, or ListFormat object.
NumberType Optional Variant. The type of number to be converted. Can be one of the following WdNumberType constants: wdNumberParagraph, wdNumberListNum, or wdNumberAllNumbers. The default value is wdNumberListNum for LISTNUM fields and wdNumberAllNumbers in all other cases.
Remarks
There are two types of numbers: preset numbers (wdNumberParagraph), which you can add to paragraphs by selecting a template in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box; and LISTNUM fields (wdNumberListNum), which allow you to add more than one number per paragraph.
The ConvertNumbersToText method is useful if you want to work with a document in another application and that application doesn't recognize list formatting or LISTNUM fields.
Note After you've converted list numbers to text, you can no longer manipulate them in a list.
