Question Line numbers in word

I am trying to produce a comprehension book and want to put line numbers on sections of text throughout the book starting at Line 5.



The problem is that when I add in Line numbers it automatically produces a section break at the end of the text I have selected and I don't want this. I have questions attached to each section which I want to run underneath the selected text with line numbers.

It does not work using numbering as that gives a different number with each paragraph.

Please can someone help?

If you want to turn on/off the line numbering for different areas then you will have to include continuous section breaks and turn on the numbering for the discrete sections.

I hope, but do not know, that someone here can give step by step for Word for the Mac 2001-2004. I cannot.


Here is my page on sections for the menu versions of Word for Windows. Sections / Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word 97-2003


In the comparable Windows version Insert > Break gives this dialog:
The link goes to a page on how sections work and what effect they have on a document's structure. It explains what the different kind of section breaks are.
