Hello ...

I have a doc that has 10 paras, each beginning with a number, as follows:

1 Para number one.
2 Para number two.
3 Para number three.
etc etc

I'd like to make these 10 paras into a numbered list but the fact they each begin with a number is giving me a problem. If I strip the leading numbers I can get a perfect numbered list (1-10) but this seems counter-productive, esp if I am dealing with much larger data.

Is there an easy method - which I am obviously missing - to convert the data (as is) smoothly into a numbered list?

your advice is much appreciated ...
