You need to apply a hanging indent (using Format Paragraph or the Hanging
Indent slider on the horizontal ruler).

I can't use auto numbering on an indented paragraph. if I start the line
with
another letter - the list wraps around to the left margin. I want the
list
to be an indented paragraph. I can do this without the letter, but not
with
it. Please tell me how to set this up to work automatically. Also I
would
like it to automatically capitalize the first letter of each numbered
sentence. Example:

A: 1. First line.
2. Second line
