Line Numbering
In a court of appeal document, I need to have the line
numbering appear as 1, 10, 20,30 etc. on each page. I have changed the line numbering settings to start at 1 and count by 10. Word produces the 10, 20, 30 etc. but does not show the 1. Is there a way to get Word to insert the 1 on the first line of each page? |

I don't know of a way to do this in the line numbering options. But you
could insert a text box in the the page header, turn off the lines around the text box, type the number 1 into the text box, and line up the text box with the automatic numbering that starts at line 10.

Thanks for the tip. I have already done what you suggested
but the problem is that some pages have headings that push the first line down on the page. As a result, the text box will not be in the correct location. -----Original Message----- I don't know of a way to do this in the line numbering options.

Are the headings not counted as part of the line numbers?
I haven't tried it since we don't have line numbering requirements here in briefs, but... If the automatic line numbering works with the variations caused by your headings but simply won't produce the "1" for your first line you could try turning on the numbering you can get automatically and then placing a text box or frame (no borders for either) with your "1" floating on top of the textbox/frame that holds the automatic numbering. This would go in your header. If your headings actually start further down the page so you need to move the "1" down, too, then you could have the pages with those headings start a new section and use different first page formatting to set that particular spacing. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
