Add and Remove Line Numbers

While you are working with WPS Writer, sometimes you have to display line numbers for each line. Line Number is a function that can add line numbers in the margin alongside each line of the documents. It is useful when you want to specify a line in your legal document or contract. The following steps will show you how to insert and remove line numbers in different situations.

Add Line Numbers

Step 1. In Writer, go to Page Layout > Line Numbers.

Step 2. Select the option you want.

Continuous - Each line in the whole document will be numbered.

Restart Each Page - Line Numbers will start on each page.

Restart Each Section - Line Numbers will start after each section.

Line Number Options - You can set line numbers at intervals, like every fifth line (5, 10, 15, and so on). In Line Number Options dialog box, you can set your ‘Start at’ number and ‘Count by’ number. At the same time, you can set the number distance from your text.

Remove Line Numbers

If you want to remove all the line numbers from documents, Go to Page Layout > Line Numbers > None.

If you want to remove line numbers from a single paragraph, put your cursor before the paragraph and click Page Layout > Line Numbers > Suppress For Current Paragraph.

If you do not want to count a specific line, you can remove the line numbers by clicking Page Layout > Line Numbers > Do not Show Line Number for Blank Line
