Is there a limit to the amount of lines in a numbered bullet list? It seems
to top out at 110.

The person wishes to create a list that may go on for 4 or 5 hundred. One
line per number. He is using it as a catalog index to a file cabinet. Find
the item in the list and go pull that number folder.

I have never actually used Word this way and really never thought about it.
I've googled it and read many pages yet no one seems to mention this. And,
my instinct is to make things much more complicated than thay need to be
(write him a program), so, I hope Word can do this on it's own.

Or, am I barking up the wrong tree using numbered bullets. Is there another
solution?

I don't believe that there is any limit, but it might be easier to do this
in Excel.

I don't know of any limit, but your paragraph formatting may prevent *wider*
numbers from displaying/printing properly.
