Did you actually try my example? The numbers and the paragraphs display as if they are in two separate colums. This certainly does what the original poster asked for.

BTW, I fixed the bad behaviour of DE by adding "margin-top: 0" to the paragraph style. It also works the same in FF and IE 6. Shouldn't be necessary, but it works.

EDIT: attached is a cropped screenshot of how it looks in DE.
