Re: Obtaining the current value of outline numbered style

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

While I haven't done this, I have done something similar with sequence
counters.

With SEQ fields, I had the option of "reading" the "result" property of the
field if I wanted to try and restart things at the same value;
alternatively, for me anyway, I had the option of "unlinking" my selected
text before the copy. That way, everything copied with it's current values
in tact.

However, no further editing could be done that would result in the
renumbering or reordering of these counters, as they were not fields any
longer.

If you don't need the ability to add/delete/reorder your lists, then perhaps
there's a way with lists to turn them back into ordinary text as I did with
fields?

I have a document using outline numbered styles for the paragraphs. The
user
selects a series of paragraphs and then runs a macro. The macro copies the
selection and pastes into a new document. The selected text may have
started
at e.g. 9.2.3.5. The style is copied correctly to the new document but
start
with 1.1.1.1.

I know how to programmatically set the "start at" propery of each
Listlevel
in the style but, I can't figure out how to read the actual values of each
Listlevel in the selection (i.e 9.2.3.5).

Can anyone help out with this? Is my question clear?
BTW I'm using Office 2003.

Thanks,
Peter
