Hello all,
I would like to have a document where I have three columns. One would have
line numbers in increments of 25, the second would have Old English, and the
third would have the modern translation. I've tried doing this with tables as
suggested, but Word will not give me line numbers in the table. Any
suggestions? With 4000 lines I really don't want to type them all! Thanks
kindly.

Perhaps you could create the three columns in Excel first. In the column
with numbers (A1) put "1" in the first row and a formula in the second row of
the column setting the cell equal to A1 + 1 (=A1 + 1). Select cell A2 and
fill down as much as you need to get the 4000 numbers. Now copy the three
columns from Excel and paste into Word, creating a table with all your
numbers in the first column. Hope it works for you.
