In the Line Numbers dialog box place a check in the Add line numbering box.  Here you can select spacing between the text and line numbers what number to start at and the counting sequence.   When you’re done choosing your settings click OK.  Then Click OK again in the Page Setup dialog window.

    I am looking for a way to extend the line numbering option. Not only do we want the line numbers on the page, we also want the page numbers there also. Example: 0001:12 would be page 1, line 12. 0003:24 would be page 3 line 24. It would not necessarily need the colon, but something similar.

    Any help would be appreciated.
