My boss wants business proposals to start with a numbered list in sentence form. She wants the numbers in parentheses and the sentence to continue on with no capitalization. Microsoft word keeps autocorrecting against this and I personally don't think it looks correct.
(4) pieces of such and such, (10) pieces of this and that and (5) pieces of whatever.
I think it should look like this:
(4) Pieces of such and such, (10) pieces of this and that and (5) pieces of whatever.
I'm unsure which is grammatically correct, and my internet search has been in vain.

Technically the (4) is the start of the sentence, so if it were spelled out, the "Four" would be capitalized. Therefore, the "p" in pieces does not need to be capitalized.
