FrecklePaw's question about numbering reminded me of a question I have.
Legal documents - and others - often use line numbering in the left margin. I think this makes references to page, line word much simpler.
Does Word contain this feature so that it can be chosen as a format, like choosing font, etc.? If not, is there a template or style that allows one to do this? Of course one could always do it manually as in the days of typewriters, but the form is so common I wondered if Word has an easy accommodation.

Re: Another Question about Numbering
Activate the Layout tab of the ribbon.
In the Page Setup group, you'll see a Line Numbers dropdown:
The line numbers will use the formatting of the Normal style of your document.

In Word2003 I automate line numbering on a page by choosing File, page setUp:- If I wanted to includes chapters etc I'd probably switch to using {Fields}.
File, page setUp is not a style, I know.
You might try setting up a new document; then set Line numbering; then paste your current text into the new document to play with it.
