Subject: Locking Section Numbers in Word
Hi guys...I have a 40 page Word document (Office Standard 2013) that I want
to break into sections and distribute to 6 different content contributors.
All section numbering is by Style, so when a section is distributed, the
numbering resets for that section to 1.x.
Is there a way of locking the section numbers so when I move one section,
it retains its number. I want to be able to lock and unlock, not convert to
hard numbers.
