MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / September 2005Line Numbers Have Unwanted Paragraph Numbers
My entire document has paragraphs numbered; they begin a new paragraph, then skip a few spaces before the paragraph text begins. Each page also has lines numbered by fives. The problem is that each line number also has a paragraph number (always 0001) to the left of the line number. The line numbers are outside of the left margin, between body text and page edge. I cannot find a way in Styles Formatting to suppress the paragraph number for the line numbers. Tried to delete the Line Number style and start over, but still has the paragraph number. BTW: I find I have this issue even if the body paragraphs are not numbered, just line numbers. If you have applied numbering to Normal style, then this will ripple down to everything else, possibly including the Line Number style.

Normal was not set for numbering, but to be sure I made sure it was tagged "none". Also, I have tried setting "line numbers" to be based upon various other styles, with no effect. Finally, note my earlier comment that even if no paragraph numbering selected (body) the line numbers still get [0001]. It is so far to the left that only 0] shows up.

Could you mail me the doc, or some small sample? Might be some weird corruption. Cheers, Klaus > since the "line number" style is a character style, you shouldn't be able to > apply additional numbering to it anyway. As I wrote my previous post, I debated about that but didn't check to confirm my suspicion that it's a character style. SignatureSuzanne S.

I opened the problem file from another PC on the network, and there is no problem! Saved that version back into the original folder / file, and problem still there. So, appears to be an issue with this installation of Word, not with the file itself. I'll try a 'repair' installation of Word to see what that does. > Hmmmm.

Hi Mike, If you want to send me the file: klaus.linke@gmail.com or info@fotosatz-kaufmann.de No results promised, but I started a small collection of corrupted docs, to see what common problems are. Regards, Klaus Yep, was a Word installation problem. I did a "repair Office" installation and the issue went away. Thanks for the help everyone. > Would be glad to send a sample, but this site > doesn't provide a complete email address. This irritates me about Google, too. But I just discovered that if you click on the blue "..." hyperlink in the email address, you can enter an on-screen string which authorizes you to see the complete email address. If you do not see the blue "..." hyperlink, click on Show Options.
