Click the "Home" tab, highlight the paragraphs you'd like to number and click the Numbered icon to add a number before each paragraph. The Numbered icon looks like three lines numbered 1 to 3. After you add the numbers, you may discover a slight problem; by default, the line spacing between your paragraphs disappears.

If you want to delete all the numbers from your document, just keep the “Replace with” box empty and click “Replace all”… this action will effectively replace every numerical digit with nothing. In the “Replace with” box, you can write whatever you want to replace the found text with.
To change this format, open the Word Styles pane (Home > Styles) and locate the “Line Number” style. You need to have enabled the view of all styles, not only the “used”, “recommended”, etc. Right click the “Line Number” style and modify font size and style.
