I have numbered paragraphs. I wish to change (update) the corresponding
numbers of each paragraph when new paragraphs are inserted. That is, if I
have 100 numbered paragraphs, and I then insert 5 additional paragraphs in
between the document, I would like to update the numbers of all the other
paragraphs that follow the new inserted paragraphs. I would appreciate any
assistance.

Have you tried using auto numbering?

Yes. I have tried out numbering and it does not produce what I need. The
first paragraph begins with [0001] up to [0088] the numbers are placed within
the brackets.

For this you can use SEQ fields with a formatting switch to supply the
leading zeroes. For example:

[{ SEQ para \# 000# }]

SEQ fields do not update automatically but will update when you select the
document and press F9 or when you print or Print Preview.

How does one insert this information into the fields?

1. Press Ctrl+F9 and type SEQ para \# 000# between the braces, then add
brackets around the field, OR

2. Type SEQ para \# 000#, select it, and press Ctrl+F9, OR

3. Use Insert | Field, selecting a name (it doesn't have to be "para") for
the sequence identifier, and using the Options to insert the numeric picture
switch. That particular one is not listed, but you can insert any switch and
then modify it.
