Line numbering tables in FM11?

[Tori Muir]

<<cough>>it's a 470-page, multi-chapter book, with a ton of generated 
files, numbered headers 8 levels deep, and ~320 tables. I don't think so.

A sample chapter generated using Rick Quatro's scripted solution 
(generate line numbers via a FrameScript before PDF-ing) has been 
reviewed by the client and judged as "better than Word, because the 
table text is now numbered, too".     While Rick's solution does require 
adding an extra step to our pre-PDF routine, the whole book can be done 
in a few hours of implementation time, plus a quick run of the script.  
Thanks to all who have been contributing ideas, it's been great seeing 
so many of Frame's capabilities I didn't know about!
