Re: Word 97

I need to prepare a legal document and the Court requires numbers on the left.

I have all my narrative typed up BUT no numbers appear on the side of the document.
I also downloaded a BLANK Pdf document with numbers on the side which "appears to" meet the Courts requirements.

QUESTION:
1) Is it best to copy the PDF document with numbers, put it in my printer and then Print my document on that paper.
If so, I MAY have some Conflicts between my document and the pre-printed numbers.

(a) How do I know what my Margin Settings should be so I don't over write the numbers ?
(b) If my margins are Wrong, I assume, I will need to re-Format my document?

2) Since Word 97 MACROs are NOT available (Word 97 does NOT have a Trust area) and Microsoft in Win-10 has disabled Macros (UNLESS SOMEONE KNOWS A WORKAROUND), a template is NOT an Option.

Would it be better to put the Courts Number requirement as part of the document AND if so HOW?

Thanks.
