Ed, Unfortunately there is no automation between Word's line numbering and the way we need to do it for DBT to deal with the line numbers. That's on my wish list for the future. You will have to automatically insert each line number and style each number with the LineNum character style. You don't want to delete the paragraph marks at the end of paragraphs. You'll insert the line number at the beginning of each paragraph, and you'll also have the line numbers inserted throughout the paragraph itself if the teacher's document is numbering lines within paragraphs vs. one line paragraphs. Make sure you search the rest of the "Word Template BANA Braille 2006" help for "prose" so you can read additional info and look at a sample to guide you through setting up the document so the first and last lines of the braille page are handled correctly. I won't kid you ... depending on how many pages of line numbering you have, this can take a while. However, it's a lot easier than trying to manually force it in the braille file itself.

Here's what I would do. If I had an already created Word document, and those lines were the lines I need to show in braille, first turn on your paragraph marks so you can see the exact line endings. As you go through the file, delete the paragraph mark that delineates the print line and insert the linenums code with the line number. Jean Be nice to your enemies.

I Am still a bit confused. Can I take a file which exists already and add line numbers to the whole file like I can in Word? Do I have to use the linenums style in a manual way (ex. one line number at a time)?

A link to a sample file is included so You can see how it is done. The regular line numbering feature in Word does NOT work. The ability to Add the line numbers via the above method was added to DBT 10.6 and will not work in earlier versions.

Make sure in Word that line numbering is turned on. I think that if you use Swift to import it into DBT, the line numbers will come with it. It's been a long time since I had to do this, but that's what I remember.

I need the Word document to have line numbers in the print version and those numbers should be in the Braille document so the teacher can tell the student where to look. How can I do this?
