Word: Start line numbering again
Word's line numbering can be a headache if you want to start over within a page. In this guide, we will show you how this works.
Restart line numbering in Word
To start the line numbering again, you first have to divide your document into sections.
- Select a section of text that you want to number.
- Navigate to the "Page layout" tab.
- In the "Breaks" sub-item, select "Continuous" under "Section breaks".
- Use this scheme to divide the sections of text you want to number.
Insert line numbering
After the text is divided into sections, the text passages can be numbered separately.
- Place the cursor in front of a text passage.
- Navigate to the "Page layout" tab.
- In the "Line numbers" sub-item, select "Start every section again".
- You can also make further settings under "Line numbering options".
