MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / September 2005VBA numbering
Hi, i'm having trouble trying to retrieve the numbering assigned to a paragraph. if the number is manually added to the line then i can get the value with ease through the range variable, but if all numbers are generated via the word numbering system they do not show through the range option. Does anyone know how i can get hold of the value thanx in advance James Sub Scratchmacro() Dim myRng As Range Set myRng = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range MsgBox myRng.ListFormat.ListString _ & " " & myRng End Sub I have tried this method and only get an empty string back from the query. Do you know of any other ways that i could get hold of the value. thanx in advance James Of course I don't know exactly what it is that you are doing. In this case, if you put your cursor in a Word paragraph that contains text and run the macro I provided I don't see how it is possible to return and empty string. Sorry.

Cheers Phoenix, My macro is very simplistic. It is intended to illustrate how the list numbered paragraph's text range and list string can be combined and displayed by a message box. You will most likely want to adapt my macro to suit your specific needs. i have tried your macro would it be possible for you to e-mail your sample to me. Then i can see where i'm going wrong.

Place that code in a VBA project, position the cursor in the paragraph whose numbering you want to check, and run the macro. It is a demonstration of concept - it displays a message box showing the ListString of the paragraph that the cursor currently occupies. That is almost certainly not what you want to do, but the code shows you which part of the object model you have to use in order to do what you want. You have already worked out how to get the number if it is manually typed in. With the same Range object that you used there, get the ListFormat.ListString property. That will give you the number you want. SignatureRegards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Keep your VBA code safe, sign the ClassicVB petition www.classicvb.org I have tried now and got the demonstration submitted by greg working. still through the range i cannot get the number it return a "" empty quote, any other ideas Thanx I have managed to get this working to a degree. the problem still exists when the item is more situated 2 or more indents. is there another function that i have to make use of to get this value or is it a problem with 2003. thanx
