Page Border and Line numbers

[faceman28208]

Is there any way to do the page setup such that the line number is
OUTSIDE the border?

Use a Paragraph Border instead of a Page Border.

In the Page Border dialog, click Options... and change the "Measure from"
setting from "Edge of page" to "Text" (you'll probably want to clear the
check boxes for "Surround header" and "Surround footer." This will place the
border close to the page margins (up to 31 points away). Line numbers will
be outside the border if you make it close enough to the text (up to about
12 points or so)

The problem would be how to draw the line from the top of the page to
the bottom of the page (as with a page border).

In that case, the "from text" setting won't work. You can use a drawing line
anchored to the header; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm. But if you're trying
to emulate the format created by the Pleading Wizard, note that it uses a
text box containing the numbers (also anchored to the header) in addition to
the line.
