In the end I would probably create a separate Table with one more column (Philip’s dummy column) than the original but with a single row. For example, one might use Page columns rather than Table columns, but the line numbers then appear adjacent to each column this approach had other problems as well. I considered other approaches, but the disadvantages were too great. A quick look at the Macro Language Reference didn’t reveal any obvious way to determine where text within a Table cell will be forced to move to the next line, so I’m none the wiser about a Macro solution. It would be nice to avoid manual counting of the lines in the first place, in order to determine the number of rows required in the dummy column (see below). One small point that might have relevance in some situations is that line numbers can (almost) disappear off the left edge of the page if the Gutter width (available in the Line Numbers Palette) is too large.Īs far as Tables are concerned, if one insists on breaking the 37th Law of Word Processing by having Table cell contents occupy more than one line, and yet still wants the luxury of line (as opposed to row) numbers, your idea of a dummy column may well be the best solution.
