ES->BH: I think we already have an internal "idea" about linking line numbering with styles. Reassign to BH bump JA->AMA: is there any chance to have this feature/idea implemented in the 2.0 timeframe ? The flexibility of the line numbering feature is a VERY important feature for someone writing legal documents. There has to be an option to add line numbering to parts of a document. ama->dina: We are able to enable/disable to every paragraph of a document individually, so we're already able to have line numbering at every wished section of the document and every paragraph is able to restart the numbering. What jbscout wants additionally is the flexibility to have different line numberings (count every line, count by 5 etc.), this is of course a valid feature request. dina->ama: Is there a way to add line numbering to paragraphs as we go along or do I have to apply line numbering to the whole document and then remove where I don't need it? You have to allow line numbering via Tools/Line numbering for the whole document but it's easy to remove the line numbering for all paragraphs wtih a few clics: just change the default paragraph style to switch off line numbering. Me too. The critical feature I would want is to be able to adjust the line number position on a section basis. I have submitted a similar request (id 62222) that would allow open office to be more useful in the creation of a legal pleadings. I work with a number of attorneys (a group) that are moving away from MS but this is the largest obstacle with OO so far. We are currently using one of a number of hacks that have been created to overcome this shortcoming. Imbedding an image, a separate numbered frame, etc... All of the current hacks are difficult and this limits the number of attorneys willing to switch over. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". |
