I have used the outline numbering on heading styles to place paragraph
numbers in my Word 97 document. Is there a way to easily convert these
numbers to plain text?

I found that by saving to Word 2.x, the automatic numbering becomes ordinary
text (thanks John McGhie). Is there a better way out there?

Press Alt+F11 to open the VBA Editor and Ctrl+G to get to the Immediate
window. In that window, type

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter.
