How do I number my paragraphs (in the right hand margin)?

B

Bridges

My college literature prof has asked that we "number our paragraphs" in the
right hand margin of our term papers, so she can reference her online
comments to us succinctly. Any idea how to set up the word format to
accomplish this task?

You can add line numbers (not paragraph numbers) via the Page Setup dialog box:

In case of Word 2003 or earlier version:
Select File menu > Page Setup > Layout tab. Click "Line Numbers". In the
dialog box that opens, turn on "Add line numbering". Set Start at = 1. If you
want to number e.g. only every fifth line, set "Count by" = 5. Make other
selections as desired. Click OK twice.

In case of Word 2007: On the Page Layout tab > Page Setup group, click Line
Numbers and select the bottom command. This opens the Page Setup dialog box.
See the description above.
