'Declaration

ByRef NumberType As Object _

'Usage
Dim instance As List

)
Parameters
- NumberType
Type: System.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.
