Description
public void addLineNumbering()
public void addLineNumbering(OptionsLineNumbering options)

This method allows the insertion of line numbers in the current Word document. It allows a full customization including:

  • The line number increments to display: if set to one (default value) all lines are numbered, if set, for example to five only each fifth line will be numbered and the numbers will jump accordingly (5, 10, 15...).
  • The start number: it is one by default.
  • The distance between the line numbers and the corresponding paragraphs.
  • The restarting conditions: one may choose if the numbering is continuous (default behaviour) or if it should be restarted in each new document page or section.
