Hi Dwayne,

If all you need to do is eliminate the line numbering in the printed 
text, you might just do this via script and then print the results. 
Put something like the following handler in a print button:

on mouseUP
   put field 1 into tData
   repeat for each line tLine in tData
     --Assuming the lines are numbered as follows:
     --1 This is the first line, including its number.
     --Or whatever you might choose.
     repeat
       put char 1 of tLine into tChar
       if tChar is a number or tChar is space then --or whatever
         delete char 1 of tLine
       else
         put tLine & return after results
         exit repeat
       end if
     end repeat
   end repeat
   revprinttext results
end mouseUP
