Hi, I'm trying to include line numbers as part of a (long) piece of poetry. When I select the text, which is spaced like this:

x
x
x
(space)
x
x
x
(space)...

The line numbering, when set to continuous, includes the spaces as lines - this is naturally not advantageous since I'm trying to keep a running total of line #'s to the side of the page.

Is there any way to make the line numbering not acknowledge blank lines? Using the "supress for current paragraph" option isn't a viable option since I have many blank lines, and is a major pain to activate on every blank line.

Using Word 2007, thank you =)
