<<cough>>it's a 470-page, multi-chapter book, with a ton of generated
files, numbered headers 8 levels deep, and ~320 tables. I don't think so.
A sample chapter generated using Rick Quatro's scripted solution
(generate line numbers via a FrameScript before PDF-ing) has been
reviewed by the client and judged as "better than Word, because the
table text is now numbered, too". While Rick's solution does require
adding an extra step to our pre-PDF routine, the whole book can be done
in a few hours of implementation time, plus a quick run of the script.
Thanks to all who have been contributing ideas, it's been great seeing
so many of Frame's capabilities I didn't know about!

Correct, Richard.
Tori, perhaps you could make the entire file a large table with one-line rows.
The left column could be just large enough to hold numbers, and the right
column could span the remaining text frame width. You would need to restart
each line in a new row.
Or you could use my previous idea and end each line (regardless of paragraph
tag) with a return (no wrapping allowed).
Or perhaps create a side head with a 1-column table for the line numbering.
These are all clumsy solutions. Sorry, I've never been required to number each
line.

Ummm... If I have a paragraph that wraps to 8 lines, I get how it would
number the top line, but how does it number the other 7?
It doesn't. Ed's proposal numbers paragraphs, not lines.
