1.How to retrieve the paragraph number of an auto-numbered paragraph

Hi Robot,

as this is the beginners group,
without discussing all details,
in principle like that:

With Selection.Range.ListParagraphs(1)
   MsgBox .Range.ListFormat.ListString
End With

assuming, that there is a listparagraph...

2.auto numbering/outlining - need to fix OR convert to text numbers

I'm working on a bunch of documents, all multiple choice tests, that
have been through various revisions with various people, and are
various combinations of auto numbers and letters and real numbers and
letters.  It's not always clear which are auto-numbered (list or
outline) and which are hand-numbered, but it all looks like this:

1.  question
   a. answer
   b. another answer
   c.  another answer
   d.  another one

The correct answer for this question is d. (nb - this is NOT numbered)

2. another question
  a. another answer
  b.  and so forth

The correct answer for this question is a.

3.  etc

There are several issues:

A.  Ideally I'd like them all to have just real text numbers - is
there a macro to do that, or could someone get me started on making
one? (with 100 questions per chapter and 18 chapters, I really don't
want to do it all by hand!) It's ok if the answers a., b., etc are
auto lettered - but not the numbers.

B. In one document, the questions are numbered 1, 2, 3, and then again
1 thru whatever.  I can't seem to get the second 1 to turn into a 4.

C. IF I decide to have all the questions auto-numbered (e.g. if it's
not relatively easy to convert the numbering to text numbers), how can
I somehow bypass the line that identifies the correct answer, and then
have the subsequent question continue with its numbering?  I *think*
I'd accomplish that by initially having the correct-answer-line
numbered, returning to go on with the next number, and then going back
up to delete the correct-answer-line's number.

D. Also, IF I decide to have them all auto-numbered, then what about
the blank lines between questions?  Is this basically the same answer
- i.e. let it number the blank lines and type a space before hitting
return to the next question, then later zap out those numbers?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, as will a link to a document
that explains the peculiarities of Word's auto-numbering!

Thanks,
PJ

3.replace variables (auto-numbered paragraph numbers) with const

4.replace variables (auto-numbered paragraph numbers) with constants

I often write a particular type of technical document in which each paragraph 
is numbered (using auto-numbering, so that I can insert new paragraphs and 
not have to re-number the whole document).  Is there a way, when I'm sure 
that I won't need to make any changes, that I can have the variable paragraph 
numbers repalced with their current value?  I am asking because someone else 
wants to be able to copy some of my paragraphs into a new Word document 
without losing the paragraph number.

Thanks,
Mike

5.Converting auto numbers to fixed numbers

There's no automatic way. It could be done with VBA, but even then, not
easy.
