Line numbers

Hello,
I’m used to write with a line count and was happy to find the option “show line numbers” under Format-Option. I just don’t seem to be able to get it activated, no mention of it in the manual either.
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot!

You’ll note that the feature is called “Show Line Numbers with Ruler” - so the ruler has to be visible first. I may change that so that it shows the ruler automatically rather than being disabled.
Best,
Keith

Thanks for the quick reply!
Actually the ruler was visible when I tried (we are talking about the “Format - Show ruler” option, right?). Switched it off and on again. Still doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong?

Are you using page view? Line numbers don’t work in page layout view so are disabled in that instance.
All the best,
Keith

That did the job.
Thanks a lot!
