copy & paste problem

[Guest]

I am trying to copy and paste word document into autocad. I have to do each page individually but when I paste in the second page the outline numbering bulletin reset to the very beginning
i
1
a
2
a
b

page brea

3
a
b

The 3 is reverting to 1 when I paste in. Is there anyway to prevent this

Hi rpryor

How the text looks after it's pasted into AutoCad will depend entirely on
how AutoCad works. So you might like to ask your question in an AutoCad
newsgroup.

However, if there's no way to solve your problem from the AutoCad end (which
strikes me as likely), then there may be a solution in Word. Make a **copy**
of your document. In the copy, do Alt-F11. This opens the Visual Basic
Editor. In the Immediate pane, type ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and
press Enter. File > Close to get back to your document.

This will immediately, and irrevocably, change all the automatic paragraph
numbering in your document to plain text. Then you should be able to copy
and paste without problems.

But... only do this on a copy of your document. You won't be able to use any
of the automatic paragraph numbering in that document again.

Hope this helps.
