I know that you can apply formatting to a numbered list such as adjusting the
font size, color, etc. What I am interested in is how to highlight these
numbers. Is there some way to add this to a style format? I tried to do an
Edit>Find this specific highlight list, but apparently Word couldn't find
these numbers that I had placed at the beginning of each paragraph. See below
(Imagine that each new line of text is a new paragraph):

1Once upon a time there lived a little girl.

2She was having issues with Microsoft Word.

What I want is for the numbers in this list (the 1 and 2) to be highlighted
to give them sharper contrast with the rest of the automatic colored text.
HOW DO I DO THIS??!?! HELP!!!!

be colored or whatever effect you assign.
