I am trying to remove all manual numbering from a document. I understand it
is possible to do this using the old word basic command:
WordBasic.ToolsBulletsNumbers Replace:=0, Type:=1, Remove:=1
Unfortunately, I don't know how to use these old commands. Can someone
advise please (preferably with idiot proof instructions!)
You'll probably find it easiest to use the up-to-date command
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText
(Not even sure whether the Word Basic command would work on post-Word 97
numbering.)
As far as how to use the old commands is concerned, the line you have, using
the WordBasic object, is the VBA way of issuing a Word Basic command. You
can find more from the VBA Help on "WordBasic".

Hmmm. I am a little confused. Does this macro do the same thing as I am
trying to do? It seems to turn automatic numbering into plain text. I am
trying to remove manual numbering.

Hi Colin,
The command works perfectly for me just as you typed it, for some 1./2./3.
or a)/b)/c) numbering.
Did you select the text from which you want to remove the manual numbering?
Regards,
Klaus
