In a list, I want to delete particular items such as item 3 out of 10 items.
I want the remaining items to keep their same number. Word automatically
changes the remaining items into the new numerical order. I have try turning
off the auto number but it will not stop auto numbering in an existing form.
Help please
 
You can convert numbers to text. Select the numbered list that you want to
convert. Then press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G
to activate the Immediate window. Type

Selection.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter.
 
I should have mentioned that if numbering was applied via a paragraph style,
it won't be completely gone until you have also cleared numbering from the
style (or applied a different style to text).
