Don't see line numbers on the screen or in the printed page

Solution:

Line numbers aren't visible in normal view (normal view: A view that shows text formatting and a simplified page layout. Normal view is convenient for most editing and formatting tasks.) or Web layout view (Web layout view: A view of a document as it will appear in a Web browser. For example, the document appears as one long page (without page breaks) and text and tables wrap to fit in the window.). To view line numbers, switch to print layout view (print layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.).

The margins are too small. Microsoft Word displays line numbers in the left margin or to the left of each newspaper-style column. If the margins are too small, Word can't display or print line numbers. You may need to resize the page margins.

The distance between the line numbers and the text is too large. If the distance is greater than the margin width, Word can't display or print line numbers. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Layout tab. Click Line Numbers, and then select the Add line numbering check box. In the From text box, enter the number you want.
