opposite order for an existing list

[Guest]

I have an ordered list:

1. bla
2. blu
....
100. abla

and would like to put in the opposite order

1. abla
....
99. blu
100. bla

Hi horatio

I have an ordered list:

1. bla
2. blu
...
100. abla

and would like to put in the opposite order

1. abla
...
99. blu
100. bla

the numbers are usual Word list numbering?

A decent programmer will surely have a better approach (going through
the selected paragraphs and reorder them programmatically. I would
probably select the numbered paragraphs, and then use one line of VBA in
the immediate window:

Selection.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText

This converts the list numbering into numbers as if you had typed them
manually.

Then you can reorder the paragraphs as numbers, from "Z to A" (order
command in the table menu).

Then delete the numbers (select with mouse while pressing the ALT key),
and reapply the numbered style you've hopefully used before.
