Use Word 2010's Numbering feature in tables and make it automatically number multiple table columns vertically. This way, each cell in each column will be placed under the correct number.

If you need numbered paragraphs in a Microsoft Word doc, don’t resort to entering them manually. Instead, create a custom style. Susan Harkins will show you how.

In Word you can number table rows just as you do paragraphs, and if you move a row then the numbering updates automatically. Word will automatically number the cells in the table.
