List paragraph numbering with leading zeros

edit

To use numbered paragraphs with brackets and leading zeros: (1) go to the paragraph you wish to number, (2) type an opening bracket, (3) select Insert->Field->More Fields->Variables Tab->Insert Formula, (4) under the "Formula" field enter PN=PN+1, (5) under "Format," select "Additional Formats", (6) select Number, format -1235, and set leading zeros to 4, (7) select the insert button, (8) type the closing bracket. (You only have to do these steps one time) For the first paragraph you've done this for, you should see [0001]. Select the [0001] using your mouse, and select "Copy." Now you can paste that at the front of each paragraph. As you move the paragraphs around, they will renumber properly if you select that text together with the paragraph when you cut and paste.

No, there is no formatting code for list numbers like you would find in Calc.
