Line Numbering and the Normal View
I think I know the answer but it never hurts to ask. I have several users
who "want" to see their line numbers when in the normal view. Understanding how "stories" work in word - I suspect this is not possible, but hope that there is some programming code or third party that has come up with something. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks much. -- Jill Training Manager |

Line Numbering and the Normal View
No, the line numbering that Word adds when you select Line Numbers... in
Page Setup cannot be viewed in Normal view, nor can the line numbers used by the Pleading Wizard (which are just numbers in a text box anchored to the header. There may be a way around this, though, if users are using Word 2003. If they are using Normal view to get a continuous view of the text, they could switch to Print Layout view, in which they could see the line numbers, and use Hide White Space to suppress the headers and footers. That works only for Word's built-in line numbering, however, as anything in the header or footer (including the line numbers in a text box) is hidden when white space is suppressed. Alternatively, have they considered just using the line numbers in the status bar? These are accurate for a given page (not continuous throughout the document, however). -- Suzanne S.
