Removing Line Numbering

Once you have turned on line numbering, you may later want to remove the line numbers added by Word. For instance, during development of a document you might want to have line numbers, and then you want them removed for the final document. To disable line numbering completely, follow these steps:

1. Choose Page Setup from the File menu. This displays the Page Setup dialog box.
2. Make sure the Layout tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
