Default How to change line number font?

I tried to change the font color by going to "styles", then "change style" but could not find a way.
Help, Linda

Can you clarify exactly what you mean by "line number"? Do you mean that you are using Numbering so that every paragraph has a sequential number? If so, use the Numbering option to Define new number format, and set the font there (assuming 2007 is similar to 2010 in this way, as I don't have Word 2007 available here).

I almost always use Multilevel list rather than simple numbering, but the general procedure is the same in either case.

Assuming that you are using Word's line numbering feature, you can modify the Line Number style. In the Apply Styles pane (Ctrl+Shift+S), type Line Number and then click the Modify button. Change the desired aspects of the formatting.

If you want to add the modified style to the attached template, select the "New documents based on this template" radio button before clicking OK in the Modify Style dialog box.

Is this feature documented anywhere in Help? Searching Help for Line Number, Line Numbers, and Line Numbering (that's three searches, not one long search string) produces several entries, but none with headings that hint line numbering will be described within the topic.

Probably not. Word Help hasn't been helpful in years. :-(
