Hi,
a text field will support this but Designers UI won't let you to setup the field this way.
The workaround is to select the textfield and editing it'S XML Source.
The XML source may look this way.
<field name="Textfield1" y="3.175mm" w="168.275mm" h="152.4mm" x="3.175mm">
<ui>
<textEdit multiLine="1">
<border>
<edge stroke="lowered"/>
</border>
<margin/>
</textEdit>
</ui>
<font typeface="Arial"/>
<margin topInset="1mm" bottomInset="1mm" leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"/>
<para widows="2" orphans="2"/>
<caption reserve="25mm">
<value>
<text>Textfield</text>
</value>
</caption>
</field>
Now add (or replace if already there) the value portion.
<value>
<exData contentType="text/html">
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><ol style="letter-spacing:0in"><li/></ol></body>
</exData>
</value>
The complete XML strukture of the text field now looks this way.
<field name="Textfield1" y="3.175mm" w="168.275mm" h="152.4mm" x="3.175mm">
<ui>
<textEdit multiLine="1">
<border>
<edge stroke="lowered"/>
</border>
<margin/>
</textEdit>
</ui>
<font typeface="Arial"/>
<margin topInset="1mm" bottomInset="1mm" leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"/>
<para widows="2" orphans="2"/>
<caption reserve="25mm">
<value>
<text>Textfield</text>
</value>
</caption>
<value>
<exData contentType="text/html">
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><ol style="letter-spacing:0in"><li/></ol></body>
</exData>
</value>
</field>
As a result you're getting a field with an ordere list starting from 1.
The other method is to set the text field format to Rich Text and then tell the users that they can edit the content in manifold ways when fro the advanced text editor (press Ctrl + E).
