Others have suggested all sorts of ways to get what you want using
autonumbering, but why do you even want to use autonumbering? The questions
you are answering already have numbers, and those numbers are not going to
change, so there is no benefit to be gained by using autonumbering in Word.
A much better approach is to use a List style (if you want a hanging indent)
and type the numbers manually.

I'm using the latest version of Office. When asked to answer odd questions
only (college homework from textbook) I have to fight with Word's
automatic
numbering feature to eliminate even numbers. I would like a feature that
allows us to change the sequencing of numbers from all, to even, to odd,
or
(hey, let's get crazy...) using fractional notation or some exponential
equation. Okay, too crazy. But the odd/even number sequencing would be
great.
Thanks.
