numbered outline: convert numbers in headers to text in headers

A

Adrian Lowdike

I knew a trick with MS word that I now have forgotten, but that I
need.

I have a word document with a large number of numbered headings
and subheadings. The numbering is done automatically by Word.

Now I want the numbers to appear as part of the text
in the headers.
I need this for converting to pdf.
Without this feature the pdf bookmarks do show the
headers but do not show the numbers in front of the headers.

May be I was not clear;
Example text:

*********
A Introduction (style header 1)
some text
A.1 Sales (style: header 2)
some text
B International (style: header 1)
some text
B.1 Europe (style; header 2)
some text
***************

It was generated using numbered outlines.
(Format, Bullets and Numbering).

When exported to pdf the headers
are exported but not the numbers.

Introduction
some text
Sales
some text
International
some text
Europe
some text

Suzanne,

that is not the problem.
I know all the stuff trhat is in the hyperlink
you supplied.

My outline numbered list is absolutely
bulletproof. It is custom headers 6 levels deep
with about 700 hundred (sub)headers
with automatic numbering.
Whenever I stay within word or print it is fine.

The problem is that the numbering is a kind of macro, that is lost
when exporting.
And there is a feature in ms word to get the numbers in the headers.

Basically it would mean
A1 A1 Introduction

With the first "A1" the numbering and "A1 Introduction:
is the header.
Greetings
Adrian
