I was sent a sample document to use as a guide for a transcription test. I
am told to use this guide as a template. How do I turn a document with text and line numbers on the left-hand side outside of box into a blank template? When I try to delete the text, the line numbers get deleted, also. They have to stay on the template. Thanks for your help. |

Hmmm... maybe that *is* the test, and you just flunked it.

There are at least two ways to create line numbers in Word. How were
the line numbers created in your sample document? What version of Word do you have? jackievar wrote: No, that wasn't. Do you know how to do it? Please, help!!!

I have Word 2003. I have no idea how they were created. It was just sent to
me and told me to use it as a template for my test. Help!! "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: There are at least two ways to create line numbers in Word.

Sorry, I'm not here to do it for you. I already gave you a hint. I
believe you were given a sample document, and you are supposed to demonstrate your ability to use Word by duplicating the supplied format. If you can't do it, then you're not qualified for the position. jackievar wrote: I have Word 2003. I have no idea how they were created.

I thought that is what this site is for, help with Office and Word issues.
It seems there are a lot of people who help those asking for guidance. I'm not asking you to do it for me, I'm just asking you to guide me in the right direction or send me to another link to read about it. Hopefully, someone else will respond. And I can assure you, the template has nothing to do with this test -- it's all about my ability to transcribe a court hearing -- by tomorrow. So thank you again, and I hope someone comes to my rescue before this is due. And who are you to tell me what I am or am not qualifed for? You have no idea what this is about.

It sounds as if the template maker may actually have used Word's line
numbering feature. Line numbers appear only where there's text. Try typing something else into it to see if you get line numbers. If not, then the numbers may have been in a text box anchored to a text paragraph in the document body instead of the header. If that's the case, the person who designed the template is an idiot, so you probably don't want the job anyway. -- Suzanne S.

You're right! I decided to just start typing because it was getting so late
and the numbers came back on as I completed each line. Thank you for being so kind and for your help. The transcript really looks good! "Suzanne S.
