Attribute	Description
countBy	Specifies the line number increments to be displayed. So, e.g., a value of 5 would specify that a page number appear at every fifth page.
distance	Specifies the distance between text and line numbering, in twips (i.e., 1/1440th of an inch).
restart	Specifies when numbering should be reset to the line number specified in the start attribute. Possible values are: continuous - numbering should continue from the number of the previous section. newPage - numbering should restart when a new page is displayed. This is the default value. newSection - number should restart when the section begins.
start	Specifies the starting value for the numbering.
