I originally posted this in the microsoft.public.word.vba.general
newsgroup and received an answer, but unfortunately I was unable to get
it to work. I'll post the link to the original post below.

Here's my question:

In Word 2003, how can I cut a list that is under my cursor and copy it
using VBA? The list is created with Word's auto-numbering and
auto-outlining feature.

Regards,

Alan

That's odd! Your last post in the other thread said "That worked
exactly the way I
wanted it to."

So what exactly is the problem now?

Since you don't say, I'm guessing it has something to do with the
numbering since the text you are copying is autonumbered. When you
paste it, it will increment the numbers. If you want to keep the
original numbers then use the following.
Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False,
DataType:=wdPasteText

Hope this helps.

Cheers
