The text is already delimited, with a "/". And though I'd prefer to use
double spaces as you suggest (more clean visually), I don't know how to
"set itemDelimiter to" double-spaces since itemDelimiter can only be set
to a single character, right? (You aren't suggesting that I use the
double-space to delimit the paragraph into sentence-long items and then
apply group style to each item so as to make the sentences numberable,
are you?)
In the meantime, working with the "/" as the itemDelimiter I did a 'set
textstyle of item x to "group"' and then pasted each item (sentence)
after another field. As I thought, the "/" char disappears from the
sentence, but so does the group textstyle! So, back to square one.
