expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.
NumberType Optional Variant. The type of numbers to be counted. Can be one of the following WdNumberType constants: wdNumberParagraph, wdNumberListNum, or wdNumberAllNumbers. The default value is wdNumberAllNumbers.
Level Optional Variant. A number that corresponds to the numbering level you want to count. If this argument is omitted, all levels are counted.
Remarks
Bulleted items are counted when either wdNumberParagraph or wdNumberAllNumbers (the default) is specified for NumberType.
