Word heading numbers are auto numbers generated by Word which Acrobat cannot
convert. The easiest way round this is to convert the auto numbers to text
numbers using a simple, one line, Word macro. To do this:

1) Select Tools >  Macro > Visual Basic Editor View > Immediate Window

2) Type ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText(wdNumberAllNumbers) into the
Immediate Window. Hit the enter key.

Nothing appears to have happened, but if you close the Visual Basic Editor
windows and go back to the document you can confirm that the numbers are now
normal text and act just like numbers you have typed in. (e.g. you can
delete them!)

If you convert the Word document in the usual way, e.g. as recommended in my
ebook, the bookmarks should now be numbered.

Subject: [PDF-Basics] Paragraph Numbers Lost in PDF Bookmarks

Is there a way to get the paragraph numbers to appear in the pdf bookmarks?

I have a Word2000 document with numbered paragraphs using Words headings.
Heading 1 is numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc.  Heading 2 is numbered as 1.1, 1.2,
1.3, etc.  Heading 3 is numbered as 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, etc.  

I am using pdfmaker to preserve Word hyperlinks and to create the pdf
bookmarks.  Everything works fine (bookmarks and hyperlinks are created),
except that the pdf bookmarks do not have the associated paragraph numbers.
The pdf bookmark only has the paragraph title, but not the paragraph number
- such as 1.1.3.
