I created document (questionnaire) with numbered paragraphs. I want to keep the number in front of the paragraph when copy/pasting to a new document. Like this:

Original:

1. One
2. Two
3. Three
4. Four

Copied should be:

2. Two
4. Four

But is:

1. Two
2. Four

Copy/paste resets the number. Saving to different file formats, like rtf or even html does not 'free' the number. Saving to text does, but then all format is lost and that's not good either...

Did I miss the obvious? Is there a workaround?
