Re: How do you insert paragraph numbers?

[CyberTaz]

One Option: For what you describe you should be able to simply use the same
Numbering feature you would use for a Numbered List - the button on the
Ribbon. However, you'll also have to appropriately use Paragraph Formatting
to add Space Before/After the paragraphs rather than following the common -
and erroneous - convention of pressing Enter twice at the end of each
paragraph. Otherwise the "empty" paragraphs sandwiched between those with
content will also be numbered.

First of all, what version of Word are you using?

Second, have you pressed Enter twice at the end of each paragraph? Turn on
the non-printing characters (ś) if you aren't sure. You'll see one of the ś
marks by itself between each paragraph of text.

As soon as I number the paragraphs they go to no spacing between the numbered
paragraphs. How do we modify the style of the numbered list to increase
spacing between the numbered items?

Modify the List Paragraph style.
