I am using Word 2016. I am trying to merge two documents with different heading orders. One of them is generated via Matlab and its heading system is like the following,
1.1.1.1something_main (without space between numbers and letters)
Each heading has its own figure captions like the following Figure 1.3. something_main_CDF
When I copy and paste this stuff to the other, word does not recognize that these are headers even if I add space between the letters and the numbers. Thus, I need to delete all the numbers, make it heading and do the same for the figure manually. I would appreciate any help to do it automatically since it takes so long to do it.

If I understand your question correctly, what you want is to preserve some kind of formatting. This can be done, follow the answer from @gargamel: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/387453/how-do-you-display-code-snippets-in-ms-word-preserving-format-and-syntax-highlig

1I assume you are looking for an automated function that turns normal lines into headings. Unfortunately, this is not possible unless you find a macro that is well programmed to suit your needs. – Sanny – 2017-10-03T23:50:08.327
