= SUMMARY =

To change the style used by the Line Numbers option to something other than the Normal style, do the following:


 * 1) If the Line Numbers option is on, choose Style (Define Styles in Word 4.0) from the Format menu; if line numbering is not on, choose the All Styles button in the Styles dialog box. (In Word 4.0, hold down the SHIFT key while choosing Define All Styles from the Format menu.)
 * 2) Select the Line Number style.
 * 3) Select the font, size, and style characteristics you want for line numbering.
 * 4) Choose the Define button.
 * 5) To set the new style as the default, choose the Use As Default button (the Set Default button in Word 4.0).
 * 6) Choose the OK button to record the style on the default style sheet.

Note: The Line Number style is based on the default style Normal. By redefining the Normal style, the Line Number style will also be redefined.

Line Number is not in the normal Define Styles list. To see any automatic styles in the Define Styles list, follow the procedure in step 1.

Note: If the size of the line numbering font is larger than the size of the font used in the body of the document, the line numbering will print on top of itself. If this occurs, reduce the size of the line numbering by redefining the Line Number style.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For more information on standard styles, see pages 179-181 in the version 5.0 “Microsoft Word User’s Guide,” or for information about automatic styles, see page 347 in the version 4.0 “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual.
