Line Numbering

M

Mary Ann

I am using Word 2000 switching from WP 2000. I have
multiple pages I am trying to number only the typed
lines, skip the blank lines, and continue numbering, and
start over numbering with each page. I use this line
count for billing and each page is listed on the bill
separate. I have tried line numbering feature, but it
also counts the blank lines. In WP 2000 you have the
option to count blank lines or not. Does Word 2000.
None of the text is consistent, so I don't think I could
set it up as a template, I have already tried that.

Thanks!

You should not have any "blank lines," as these represent empty paragraphs.
Instead of pressing Enter twice (which inserts an empty paragraph) to get a
"blank line" between paragraphs, use Ctrl+0 (zero) to add 12 pts Space
Before, or apply a paragraph style with some Space Before or After.
