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.
