The line numbering problem wasn't really solved on either of the two template examples.

The advantage is that the numbering is automatically inserted on each new page that is created. The only potential problem is that the numbering will only line up with text lines when using a matching font/size. I think this is minor though. I am going to run this by my attorney friends and see if they see other issues. Thanks for the help!
