There is no LINEREF field in Word.

With the selection where you want to insert the line number, you could run a
macro containing the following code:

Selection.InsertBefore
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("test").Range.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber)

Which could be modified so that you were presented with a list of the
bookmarks to choose from rather than having a particular bookmark name hard
coded into the code. HOWEVER, it is probably NOT worth the effort as the
number that is inserted will not update if the position of the bookmark on
the page changes.
