Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the behavior of MS Word. The style ‘Line Number’ allows you to format the line numbers. You can modify this style using Aspose.Words and MS Word. However, there are some limitation for this style. Please read the following article about formatting line number.
Formatting Line Numbers (Microsoft Word)

If you still face problem, please manually create your expected Word document using Microsoft Word and attach it here for our reference. We will investigate how you want your final Word output be generated like. We will then provide you more information on this along with code.

You have added Shape (textbox) into header of document that contains paragraphs with double line spacing. The paragraph’s text is 1. 2. etc. With Aspose.Words, you can insert shape into header of document and insert paragraphs into it. We are writing code example for this case and will share it with you soon.

Following code example shows how to insert shape into header of document and insert paragraphs with text 1.,2., etc. Hope this helps you.

    Document doc = new Document();
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
    builder.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 24;

    Shape rect = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextBox)
    {
        Width = 50,
        Height = 650,
        Left = -78,
        Top = 0
    };
                    
    rect.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Margin;
    rect.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Margin;
    rect.StrokeWeight = 0;
    rect.Stroke.On = false;
    rect.BehindText = false;

    for (int i = 1; i <= 23; i++)
    {
        Paragraph p = new Paragraph(doc);
        p.Runs.Add(new Run(doc, i + "."));
        rect.AppendChild(p);
        p.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 24;
        p.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Right;
    }
    builder.InsertNode(rect);

    builder.MoveToSection(0);
    doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 24;
    doc.Save(MyDir + @"21.2.docx");
