How can I number paragraphs after finishing a document?

[Imhotep]

I have finished typing a document (about 40 pages) and I want to number the
paragraphs, using a style of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on. Chapter 2 will, of
course, number the paragraphs 2.1, 2.2, etc.

How can I do this? Would appreciate any guidance.
