Default Add a column to the left of an existing document

Sorry, I missed that this was a table. I think line numbering doesn't work
well in tables.

Have you considered just adding continuous line numbering?

Hi,
I have a document set up which is a phone list with about 160 addresses

and phone numbers.
I would like to add a column to the left that just says the number of

lines I have in the list
Old way
AAA Account #:xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxx-x Used # 1 800-222-4357
AAA Account #:xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxx-x Used # 1 800-222-4357

New way
xx1 AAA Account #:xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxx-x Used # 1 800-222-4357
xx2 AAA Account #:xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxx-x Used # 1 800-222-4357

Can someone please tell me how to do this? When I tried Format columns

(presets: one (column)/Left)it didn't work and
also Table/Insert/columns to the left didn't work either.

Please give details. I am not that literate with Word XP (2002)
Any help would really be appreciated.


Have a good day,
RScotti
