ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText(Object) Method

Definition

Changes the list numbers and LISTNUM fields in the specified ListFormat object to text.

public void ConvertNumbersToText (ref object NumberType);
abstract member ConvertNumbersToText : obj -> unit
Public Sub ConvertNumbersToText (Optional ByRef NumberType As Object)

Parameters

NumberType
Object

Optional Object. The type of number to be converted. Can be any of the WdNumberType constants.

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.

After you've converted list numbers to text, you can no longer manipulate them in a list.
