Comment (by neotrope):

 Ah, yes - that was the other one I was thinking of specifically
 **ST. LOUIS, MO
 FT. LAUDERDALE, FL
 (etc.)**

 We have "datelines" at the start of first paragraph for each news story.

 We use MS Word then clean up, but it's faster for composing since we can
 have live links, bolded sub-heads for topics (no h2/h3, just bold face).
 Sometimes a disclaimer in italic at bottom, without having manually do
 that in the MCE.

 I am not sure the 'paste as text' keeps the inline links, proper line
 breaks, bold and whatnot. I seem to recall we used to do that years back,
 but other than this weirdo ol list conversion, MS Word modern docx imports
 when done from CLEAN docs, work perfectly.

 Seems like converting to an ordered list would make more sense *only* when
 a paragraph has
 1. Tacos are not toes

 Which it does, actually.

 This one has been bugging me for years, and I keep totally forgetting
 about it as only run into this couple of times a year it seems. More so
 lately.
