I wouldn't assume that, I'd test Pages to see if it does then use a program that does if it doesn't
 
Only this time because your use of Publisher doesn't achieve what you need, in future you could just use the word processor and import the pdf into Publisher
Or try the other techniques suggested above. Speaking as a true Luddite I prefer the line of least resistance. Good luck and maybe make a feature request for line numbering support in Publisher

Hi @Harley1122,
Welcome to the forums. 
Have a look at this video:
Thanks,

Thank you for your patience, Alfred.
 

Copy (Cmd+C) puts a copy of the selected object/s on the clipboard. Duplicate (Cmd+J) and Command-drag both create a copy without overwriting the clipboard contents, but the first of those two methods puts the copy directly on top of the original whereas the second method puts it wherever you drag to; you can also duplicate in place by long-clicking (i.e. holding down the mouse button without moving the cursor) while holding down the Cmd key. Option-drag works just like Command-drag, except that you hold down the Option/Alt (⌥) key rather than the Cmd (⌘) key, and it allows you to position the copy freely instead of having it snap to the snapping grid or to guides or other objects.

Thank you for the elaboration on the theme and for the additional information, all of you @dutchshader and Alfred and @firstdefence I'm not sure what you mean just yet as I am amateur to graphic design and completely clueless - however, I hope to come back to your advice later and be able to understand and use your tips!
