Apparently, you can modify the "Line Number" style to format line numbers tomatch texts. There are also other approaches you may apply to achieve the object. Method 1: Alter “Normal” Style to Change the Style of Line Numbers Line numbers are in default paragraph style. So, if you change the normal style of texts before adding line numbers, they will be applied with new styles which will match that of the texts. Method 2: Run Word Macro to Change Line Number Style Open VBA editor and create a new module. Then paste and run the following macro: Sub AlterLineNumberStyle() Dim objDoc As Document Set objDoc = ActiveDocument With objDoc.Styles("Line Number").Font .Name = "Arial" .Size = 12 .ColorIndex = wdBlue End With End Sub Certainly, you need to change the font name and size in the codes to meet your requirements.
