Insert line numbers

The ONLYOFFICE Document Editor can count lines in your document automatically. This feature can be useful when you need to refer to a specific line of the document, e.g. in a legal agreement or a code script. Use the Line Numbers tool to apply line numbering to the document. Please note that the line numbering sequence is not applied to the text in the objects such as tables, text boxes, charts, headers/footers, etc. These objects are treated as one line.

   Line Numbers icon.
2. Choose the required parameters for a quick set-up in the opened drop-down menu:
   • Continuous - each line of the document will be assigned a sequence number.
