Another way:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
  .InsertBefore " "
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = False
    .MatchWildcards = True
    .Text = ".([0-9]{1,3}.)"
    .Replacement.Text = ". \1"
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    .Text = " ([a-e].)"
    .Replacement.Text = "^p\1"
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    .Replacement.Style = "Strong"
    .Text = " ([0-9]{1,3}.)"
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
  End With
  .Characters.First.Delete
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

With the additional 3 lines after '.MatchWildcards = True', it'll handle the questions where the space was missing before the question number.
