Examples
The following code example uses the ConvertNumbersToText method to convert all list numbers and LISTNUM fields in the document to text. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.
private void DocumentConvertNumbersToText()
{
object numberType = Word.WdNumberType.wdNumberAllNumbers;
this.ConvertNumbersToText(ref numberType);
}
Private Sub DocumentConvertNumbersToText()
Me.ConvertNumbersToText(Word.WdNumberType.wdNumberAllNumbers)
End Sub
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 enable 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 does not recognize list formatting or LISTNUM fields.
After you convert list numbers to text, you can no longer manipulate them in a list.
