Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (in microsoft.office.interop.word.dll)

Usage

Dim NumberType As Object
Dim _Document1 As _Document
_Document1.ConvertNumbersToText(NumberType)

Syntax

Sub ConvertNumbersToText( _
    <InAttribute()> Optional ByRef NumberType As Object _
)

void ConvertNumbersToText(
    [In, Optional] ref object NumberType
);

public: Void ConvertNumbersToText(
    &Object^ NumberType
);

public void ConvertNumbersToText(
    /*in*/System.Object NumberType
);

function ConvertNumbersToText(
     NumberType : Object
);

Parameters

• NumberType
  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.
