Numbering Characters

Can someone tell me if it is possible to insert fields (number in brackets) at the beginning and in the middle of sentences throughout a paragraph such that sequential numbering appears throughout. The idea is that a number would appear, say, at the beginning of a sentence and the next sequential number would appear at the beginning of the second sentence and so on. In this way, editing a sentence that requires removal of a number, the remaining numbers would auto adjust to become sequential.

Thanks

You could use a SEQ field.
eg
({SEQ Sentence})
Insert the field with the addition of the brackets as shown followed by a
space at the start of the numbered sequence. Select the block and copy to
the clipboard. Use Replace to find a period (full stop) followed by a space
and replace with ^&^c
This will put the field at the beginning of each sentence. Select all
(CTRL+A) then update F9.
You will need to update any time you edit the sequence and move or remove a
field.

Use a SEQ field.
