Remove Line Numbers From Blank Lines


When lines are numbered in Word, even blank lines are numbered. There's no way to force Word not to number blank lines, so you must remove the numbers manually. To do this, switch to Page/Print Layout view, click just left of the blank line to select it, and then select Format*Paragraph. Click the Line and Page Breaks tab (Text Flow in Word 7) in the Paragraph dialog box, select Suppress Line Numbers, and click OK.
