I know Word won't auto-capitalize the first word of a new sentence when the
previous sentence ends in a number, but can you get it to capitalize the
first word of each sentence in a numbered list? It works for bullets, so why
not numbers?

Why indeed? Because apparently a lot of (vocal) users didn't always want to
capitalize items in a numbered list. When this was "fixed," it was broken
for running text as well. See €œWord does not capitalize the first letter of
a sentence€� at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291538 (though it won't tell
you anything you don't already know--just confirm that this is "by design").
