Jonathan, are you using x-refs for those numbers? If so, you can set up a character style to automatically make all the paragraph number-only references superscript. And of course, they will update automatically if the paragraph numbers change.

I am not using cross references, is that a better fit for what i am doing?

With a GREP style if you are sure if all numbers after a full stop ought to be superscript:– apply a character style containing Superscript to (?<=\.)\d+If this applies to too much digits (you may have a $0.00 amount somewhere, and this is an all or nothing deal), use Find/Change with the same GREP over your document. It's probably faster to check each occurrence than hunting down errors and adjusting the GREP for just those cases.
