{{DISPLAYTITLE:Line Numbering}} {{Documentation/WriterforStudentsTOC |ShowPrevNext=block |ShowPrevPage=block |PrevPage=Documentation/Writer for Students/Bullets_and_numbering |NextPage=Documentation/Writer for Students/Cross-References }}__NOTOC__ Line Numbering comes in handy for ''interviews'', enabling references of the kind: ‘See line 22’. However you probably won’t want all the lines of your thesis numbered but rather only the lines of the actual interview. And if you have several interviews they should most likely each start with the number '''1'''. Here is how to go about it: * go to menu '''Tools › Line Numbering''' and tick the box '''Show numbering'''; change the Interval from '''5''' to '''1 lines''' to facilitate location; ''untick'' the box '''Blank lines''' because it makes little sense to count empty lines; from now on line numbering is turned on globally * open your list of paragraph styles (menu '''Format › Styles and Formatting'''); right-click the paragraph style '''Default''' and choose the option '''Modify'''; under the tab '''Outline & Numbering''' ''untick'' '''Include this paragraph in line numbering'''; this turns ''off'' line number for all paragraph styles based on '''Default''' * in the list of paragraph styles (F11) again right-click the paragraph style '''Text Body''' and choose option '''New''' * name your new style '''Interview''' * under the tab '''Outline & Numbering''' activate '''Include this paragraph in line numbering''' (the opposite of what you did in step 2); from now on only lines of '''Interview''' style paragraphs will be numbered * mark your interview paragraphs and in the list of paragraph styles double-click on the style '''Interview''' to apply it to the marked text * in case your text contains several interviews, you will probably want to restart numbering beginning with the first paragraph of each one; to do that, '''right click''' it and choose '''Paragraph''' (''not'' '''Edit Paragraph Style…''') and under the tab '''Outline & Numbering''' tick '''Restart at this paragraph''' <br /> ---------- <p style="text-align:left;">[[Documentation/Writer for Students/Bullets_and_numbering|< Previous Page]]</p> <p style="text-align:right;">[[Documentation/Writer for Students/Cross-references|Next Page >]]</p> [[Category:Documentation/Writer]]
