Isn't that what you want? What is the point of a line number if it doesn't
indicate the number of the line?

Suzanne,
I was experiencing a similar problem to the originator of this thread, and
I
tried your suggestion of using Word's built-in line number. The problem I
get is that the numbers in a legal pleading need to always be double
spaced
along the left margin, but sometime the text in the body of the document
needs to be single spaces (like in the caption or certain quotations,
etc.).
When I switch to single spacing, the line number then become single
spaced.
Any suggestions?

In such situations you'd be a lot better off using Word's built-in line
numbering feature rather than fixed numbering in the margin.

You need to set the line spacing in the paragraph style you are
using to
match the numbering along the side. (Also the spacing between
paragraphs.)

When I prepare a legal pleading the first line of text is slightly
above
the
number "1" in the left margin - and the lines are not the same
distance
apart
as the numbers in the margin, so that only about 2 out of 10 lines
are
actually lined up properly. How do I synchronize these things?
Thanks - except it doesn't seem to work - perhaps I just can't find
the
correct combination of settings. Also, is there a way to do it for the
whole document at once, given that there are single space sections and
double space sections?
