The key to formatting an autonumber string (whether numerical or text)
differently than the rest of the paragraph is to define a character style
that you include as part of the autonumber definition. To change just 
the color, make sure that all characteristics of the style are defined to
be As Is (or empty list boxes) except for the color; the Command menu
in the Character Designer has a handy "set all to As Is" command that 
you can use before setting the one property to be changed.
