Segmentation rules - ordered list as a text

Question

Hi everybody, 
 
 I have a file that is full of ordered list inserted as plain text, like this: 
 
 By default, segmentation results in this: 
 
 I cannot edit the source (the target will be imported automatically, I cannot replace newline with carriage returns). And also, I would need trados to recognise the list, and segment consequently the content. 
 In other part of the file things are a bit better: 
 
 But again, I'd like to have the ordered list "bullet" excluded from the segment. 
 I couldn't manage to find a segmentation rule that works. 
 
 For the time being I entered the "bullets" as variables, in order to better leverage the TM (at least), but I would need a "clean" file. 
 Thank you!

Maybe this post form Nora can help you with the soft returns:

 It's a change in the TM settings, so you'd need to re-segment the file in Studio. 
 PS.: About the bullets, you'd need other segmentation rules, as Evzen mentioned.

 Maybe this article will help you as the idea is the same even if the segmentation chars are different:
