Post subject: How do I separate numbers in combined docs Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>docmanagement (more info?)
I'm working in XP and Word 2003 with 3 concatenated documents separated by
section breaks. The first doc is not numbered but contains cross references
to the following 2. Doc 2 is outline numbered and retains the numbering it
had when it was standalone. Doc 3 is also outline numbered but when it is
concatenated to the end of doc 2, its paragraph heading numbers change to
follow sequentially from the last number in doc 2. I tried the master
document/sub document route and had the same result plus a few other problems
with text formatting. I also tried to use the 'restart numbering' command and
the number changed momentarily to 1.0 and then reverted to 4.0 . I would
appreciate any help in solving this problem. Thank you in advance.

The easiest way to deal with this is to convert numbering to text in the
source documents before combining the documents.
To convert the numbering to text in the active document: Press Alt+F11 to
display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G, which activates the Immediate
window. Type
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText
and press Enter.
If numbering was applied with styles, you must also clear numbering from the
styles. When you are done, save the file.

Thank you for the response. I will use the VB command first and then clear
the numbered styles.
