OpenOffice: insert line numbering

In OpenOffice you can insert a practical line numbering in text documents. We explain to you in this practical tip exactly how this works.

Activate line numbering in OpenOffice - how it works

With just a few clicks you can activate the useful function and customize it with a few options.

• Open OpenOffice Writer and then click on "Tools" -> "Line Numbering".
• Now check the box next to "Turn on numbering".
• Now you can set the format in which the numbering is carried out. You can choose from Arabic or Roman numerals as well as upper or lower case letters.
• You can also adjust the interval yourself. In the example (see screenshot) an interval of five was chosen. Every five lines, the current line is now shown on the left.
