The numbered style would still be easier All it requires is a space on the
line before pressing enter to set the line. Set the style to be followed by
the usual body text.
If you want autocorrect then save
Interrogatory No. { SEQ interr }
as an autocorrect entry use #int as trigger.
Note that SEQ fields may not display the correct number sequence until
updated (CTRL+A then F9)
