Lin numbering on the right
We have Windows 2007 on Windows XP. A client has requested that we submit our
documents with line numbering on the RIGHT side of the page. I tried to modify the Line Number style, but the Paragraph menu item is grayed out. I could find no option that let me put numbers on the right side. Is it possible to do line numbers in the right margin? The text is to be left justified. Thanks!

I believe you will have to type line numbers in a text box anchored to the
header paragraph in order to accomplish what you want. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "samhdc" wrote in message ... We have Windows 2007 on Windows XP.

Line numbering on the right
Thanks very much for your reply! Is that really the only way? I can see
problems with spacing--the document has numerous levels of headings, so the spacing for the text after a heading would not necessarily match up with the lines of a vertical text box that has evenly spaced numbers in a column. The document is large, so hand-tailoring each page would not be an option for us. We can ask the client how people have done it before (or IF they have done it before), but I was hoping we could figure it out on our own if possible...

You would have to use fixed line spacing for all text, and any spacing
before or after would have to be an integer multiple of the line spacing value... You may not find it worth the effort. Another possibility might be enabling a right-to-left language, but I haven't tried that. Assuming that it actually works, there may be side-effects that, again, make it not worth the effort. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "samhdc" wrote in message ... Thanks very much for your reply!

Stephan, I would stay away from right-to-left languages unless you really
need this function. Last year somehow this function was activated on my system and it caused me no end of grief with side-affects and a rebuild was required to extract all traces of affected functions. So unless the OP needs these languages, I would not recommend this to anyone ;-) Hope this helps DeanH "Stefan Blom" wrote: You would have to use fixed line spacing for all text, and any spacing before or after would have to be an integer multiple of the line spacing value...

There used to be a Legal Pleading template included with Word; that template
has an example of the principles involved. See if the template is still available for download from the Templates section at Office online (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...L100632981033). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Thank you for sharing. :-)
