Hi there! It sounds like the automatic numbering feature may have been turned off or disabled in the document. Here are a few steps you can try to bring it back:

1. Check the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen. Look for the "Paragraph" section and see if the "Numbering" button is highlighted. If it is, click on it to turn on automatic numbering.
2. If the "Numbering" button is not highlighted, click on the small arrow next to it to open the "Numbering Library" menu. From there, you can select a numbering format to apply to your document.
3. If neither of these options work, it's possible that the numbering feature was removed from the document template. To check this, go to the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon and click on "Page Setup." Then, click on the "Layout" tab and look for the "Line Numbers" section. Make sure the "Add line numbering" box is checked.
4. If none of these steps work, it's possible that the document was saved without the numbering feature. In this case, you may need to manually add the numbers back in using the "Insert" tab in the ribbon and selecting "Page Number."
