This was written with to split out a single page document merge process, where Word would generate N-pages, which were templated from the original.

Can we keep the bullet numbering same after splitting? If Yes, then please give an example. I am stuck and I need your help

The header is expanding after the copy to a new document.
Other than that it is working properly.
Can you help me how i get the exact same header as in the original file?
