MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If the “count blank space” field is set to “yes” in the Options menu, and a document has paragraphs with decimal line spacing, the line number indicator at the bottom of the Word screen will not display the line numbers in whole numbers.

Example
Options: line numbers = Yes count blank space = Yes

Format Paragraph: line spacing = 1.5 li

With the top margin set to 1 inch, the line numbering at the bottom of the Word screen reads “Li 7.5” with the above options.

In order for the line numbering to appear in whole numbers (for example, Li 5) regardless of the line spacing chosen in the Format Paragraph command, set the “count blank space” field to “no” in the Options menu.
