The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

You can set line numbering to run consecutively from column to column when you are using newspaper columns.


Concept
WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS allows you to define exactly how you want your line numbers to display. The Line Numbering feature in WordPerfect 5.1 only allowed consecutive line numbers from one page to the next, not from column to column. With WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS, you can number lines consecutively from column to column.


How Do I Use It?
To set the line numbering options,

1      Retrieve a document that you have already created.

2      Choose Columns from the Layout menu, then choose OK, or press Columns/Tables(Alt+F7), choose Columns (1), and choose OK.

You have just formatted this document in newspaper columns. Now set the line numbering.

3      Choose Line from the Layout menu, or press Format (Shift+F8) and choose Line (1).

4      Choose Line Numbering (4), then choose Line Numbering On (1). A check mark appears in the box to indicate that it is on.

5      Choose Number all Newspaper Columns (9). Again, a check mark appears in the box to indicate that it is on.

Restart Number on Each Page is on by default. If you want the line numbers to continue from page to page, turn off Restart Number on Each Page.

6      Choose Restart Number on Each Page (7). The check mark will disappear to indicate that it has been turned off.

7      Choose OK twice to return to the Format menu.

8      Choose Close to return to the document editing screen.

Every time WordPerfect finds a [HRt] or a [SRt], it will count it and display the line number for that line. You can see the line numbers in Graphics Mode when Zoom is set to Page Width, or in Print Preview.

If you want to switch to Graphics Mode,

1      Press Switch (Ctrl+F3).

2      Choose Graphics (3).

You can see the line numbering as you work if the Zoom percentage is large enough to display the margin where the line numbering prints.

To change the Zoom percentage,

1      Press Switch (Ctrl+F3), then choose Zoom (7).

2      Choose Page Width (3), or choose Percentage (1), type 100, and press Enter.

3      Choose OK.

To use Print Preview,

1      Choose Print/Fax from the File menu or press Print (Shift+F7).

2      Choose Print Preview (7).
