I have some requirement specifications in MS Word format. These all use header numbering.

Sometimes I want to quote a paragraph of the document in another MS Word document. This is a bit time consuming because if I cut and paste then the header numbering is not preserved: it all gets renumbered in the new document.

Is there a way to paste MS word content while retaining the original numbering?

The closest I've seen to a solution is here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/control-the-formatting-when-you-paste-text-HA010215708.aspx

This allows you to retain list numbering but doesn't seem to work with header numbering.

just a remark, I tend to not use automatic numbering, I do it manually, so am not at the mercy of ms word for that. – barlop Sep 23 '11 at 16:25
