Numbered lists in concatenated documents

Hi,

I've 2 docx with numbered lists:

1.docx content:

1. a

2. b

3. c

2.docx content:

1. x

2. y

3. z

I've a job that merges the 2 docx in one final docx with all the content.

But the final content is:

1. a

2. b

3. c

4. x

5. y

6. z

instead of:

1. a

2. b

3. c

1. x

2. y

3. z

Is there any section break that I can use in the original documents to restart the numbering lists after merging the 2 docs?

Thanks,

Nuno

Answer

Run a macro on each of the files that uses the command 

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

before compiling them into the one document.
