Converting Heading Numbers to Text

[Brad]

Heading numbers are automatically generated. I understand the ramifications
but would like to know if there is a way to convert (even export the doc)
then to actual text?

Yes. Press Alt+F11 and click on View | Immediate Window. Type the
following:

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter. This command will convert all of the automatically
generated numbers (headings numbers, footnotes, endnotes, etc.) into
text. You might want to do this in a copy of the original document,
because after the numbers are converted, they will not automatically
update if the document is subsequently edited.
