I have an acquaintance whose professor has required to submit a thesis
in which each line would be numbered. Is there a freeware program that
will easily do this? Would Open Office handle such a task?
Thank you for your assistance.

Adding Line Numbers
OpenOffice.org can automatically count and add line numbers to the lines
in an entire document or to selected paragraphs in your document. Line
numbers are included when you print your document, but not when you save
the document as HTML. You can specify the line numbering interval, the
starting line number, and whether to count blank lines or lines in
frames. You can also add a separator between line numbers.
To add line numbers to an entire document:
1.Choose Tools - Line Numbering.
2.Select Show numbering, and then select the options that you want.
3.Click OK.
To add line numbers to specific paragraphs:
1.Choose Tools - Line Numbering.
2.Select Show numbering.
3.Press F11 to open the Stylist, and then click the Paragraph Styles
icon.
4.Right-click the "Default" paragraph style and choose Modify.
All paragraph styles are based on the "Default" style.
5.Click the Numbering tab.
6.In the Line Numbering area, clear the Include this paragraph in
line numbering check box.
7.Click OK.
8.Select the paragraph(s) where you want to add the line numbers.
9.Choose Format - Paragraph, and then click the Numbering tab.
10.Select Include this paragraph in line numbering.
11.Click OK.
You can also create a paragraph style that includes line numbering, and
apply it to the paragraphs that you want to add line numbers to.
To specify the starting line number:
1.Click in a paragraph.
2.Choose Format - Paragraph, and then click the Numbering tab.
3.Select the Include this paragraph in line numbering check box.
4.Select Restart at the paragraph check box.
5.Enter a line number in the Start with box.
6.Click OK.
