Hi guys,

I posted this question not long ago but I must have been unclear because
the replies were fixing a different problem.

I have WinXP with Word 2003. I set LINE NUMBERING on (in the LAYOUT tab
of PAGE SETUP).

Is there a way to make line numbering fixed such that each line with a
particular line number retains that line number even if the line is
moved from one place to another in the document during editing?

---

Alternatively, how can I number the paragraphs such that if I move the
paragraphs around during document editing, the paragraphs retain their
paragraph number.

Maybe I can start with auto paragraph numbering and then convert those
variable numbers into fixed text? But how do I later remove the numbers
embedded in the text?
