Is it spossible to preserve the original line numbers for reference when editing a document?
Hi there, this is my first post - I've had a good look about and haven't been able to find much at all on this, I'll attempt to explain the problem:
I submitted an article to a panel of reviewers and the required format was to use line numbering for them to reference, track changes wasn't used; I received a document from each listing line-specific comments for me to address
Now I want to work through these comments but as I type, the line numbers obviously change and I quickly get lost as to where their comments relate
The only solution I can think of is to print out a hard copy to refer to and then use 'find' to locate the text that was originally on that line, but this is time consuming and I wondered whether anybody could think of a way to preserve the original line numbers that will at least roughly stay in place as the document changes?
I really hope that makes sense? I am currently so distracted by trying to find a solution to this that I’m not actually doing the editing I need to do!! Any help at all will stop me procrastinating
