As far as I know, you'll have to insert them by hand. Line numbering does not work with tables.

My bad (I think that's what the kids say (:')
Select the first column of the table and apply the "List Number" style. (Format>Style)

it displays the number of paragraphs, not line numbers. maybe word really can't do it.

Only way you can number lines with a table is to format your document into a 2-column layout with the right/left column being .5" wide. The other side of the document will be where you table will reside. Every time you press enter, your line numbers will show up with that feature enabled.

Dirty Trick set up template in excel type 1 in first cell and 2 in 2nd row 1st cell highlight both cells drag down as many cells as required will auto number the cut and paste to word "beter still" insert hyperlink in document to Excel File and typein excel all lists and just Ctrl Click to view eg Ctrl Left mouse Click F:\VideoSetup.xls this will be underlined.
