Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer
Numbering Lines
When lines are to be numbered within a document, select the line numbering properties that
are wanted via the Tools > Line Numbering. The user can decide, for the whole of the
document, whether blank lines should be counted as well, and whether lines in text frames
should likewise be counted. Decide the intervals at which lines are numbered and insert
separators between these intervals to identify a particular line number. The line numbering
appears on the screen and is printed.
Other line numbering properties can be applied to the paragraph (Format > Paragraph >
Numbering) or to the Paragraph Style. Doing it this way ensures greater flexibility, as one
can exclude a paragraph from the line numbering or restart the numbering at a paragraph
with any value.
Line Numbering for All Paragraphs
1. Select Tools > Line Numbering.
2. Check the Show numbering check box.
This numbers all the paragraphs in the document.
Line Numbering for Particular Paragraphs
1. Enable the line numbering for all paragraphs as described above.
2. Open the Styles and Formatting window and click the Default paragraph style.
3. Right-click to open the context menu.
4. Click Modify to open the Paragraph Style: Default dialogue.
5. Select the Numbering tab.
6. Uncheck Include this paragraph in line numbering. As all paragraph styles are derived
from the Default style, no paragraph will be numbered unless a subordinate paragraph
style exists and was modified accordingly.
7. Now, in the document, highlight all the paragraphs that are to be numbered.
8. Select Format > Paragraph > Numbering, check the Include this paragraph in line
numbering check box.
9. Click OK when done.
