How do I change font size of number in legal pleading
When setting up a legal pleading with numbered lines, how do I change the
size of the font of the line number. Clearly, I can change the size of the text font in the document, but not the font size of the line number. So, if the text font is 13 pt as required by some courts (Los Angeles) how do I make the line number font the same size? When using Word's "create your own pleading" it allows for setting up everything but the font size of the line number. That seems to default to a 9 pt font. If the line number font is smaller than the text font of the document then it doesn't take long before the lines and the numbers no longer line up, and besides it looks funny. |

Modify the Line Number style and save the result in the template.

How do I change font size of number in legal pleading
Mr. Freedman: Sorry to be such a dunce, but I have just switched from
WordPerfect, yesterday, so I am not quite sure where to find the line number style to modify. I seem to have modified any line numbering within the document but not the template. Coulde you please step me through the steps to the Line Number Style. Thank you so much.

How do I change font size of number in legal pleading
Not a problem...
- If you have Word 2000 or earlier, click Format Style. This directly opens the Styles dialog. Click "Line Number" in the list and click the Modify button. - If you have Word 2002 or 2003, click Format Styles and Formatting, which opens the Styles and Formatting task pane on the right. If you don't see "Line Number" in that list, set the Show dropdown at the bottom of the task pane to "All styles". As you hover the mouse pointer over "Line Number", a down arrow appears to its right; click that and select Modify from the menu. (Notice how much "better" the newer versions are... NOT!) In either case, you now should see the Modify Style dialog. Just about in the center of the dialog is a dropdown where you can set the font size. Also put a check mark in the box near the bottom that says "Add to template", and then click OK. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How do I change font size of number in legal pleading
As I state in my signature, I don't take direct email questions.
Partly that's to cut down on the amount of email I have to process when I get home from work. But mostly it's because keeping the questions and answers in the newsgroup gives you the widest possible access to the community's knowledge, not just from me but from all the folks who post here regularly. At the same time, other people with the same questions can read the answers (the newsgroups are archived on Google) -- at least, we wish they would read first before posting. :-) As you move from WordPerfect to Word, there are many good resources to explain the differences and similarities. Here are a few to get you started: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...ordPerfect.htm http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/RevealCodes.htm http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...Converters.htm http://addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How do I change font size of number in legal pleading
If changing the "Line Number" style doesn't work, try changing "Normal." Did
the trick for me.
