AS far as I can work out they're not in the body of the text at all. The page 
numbers are obviously generated by whatever word processor the court uses to 
produce its transcripts. I'm not sure if they're in the footer or somewhere 
else, but I guess probably the footer.

They seem to be created in such a way so the formatting and page numbering 
remains the same regardless of where or how you open it. At least they stay the 
same in Microsoft Word. I can't tell on the Mac as I don't know how to read the 
page numbers. If you changed the formatting, text size or font style then 
presumably the same text wouldn't be on the same page. But I have no need to 
change any of the formatting and wouldn't do so for that reason. I just need to 
be able to read the transcripts and refer to them by page and line number in 
court.

There is an actual number written every five lines. I'm not sure where these 
are written in Microsoft Word — they're not in the body of the text. Presumably 
there is a line numbering feature, though I've never found one. On the PDF 
versions the line numbers appear in the body of the text, though the formatting 
often makes it difficult to pinpoint accurately which line the number is 
referring to. However, with JAWS and Microsoft Word there is a simple keystroke 
for JAWS which tells you exactly which line you're on. It's really helpful — 
much better than me manually counting each line from the beginning of the page 
as I did originally.

Anyway, even just determining the page number on the Mac would be great. I 
could always count the lines manually — though it would be a pain.

Best,
Nic
