Thanks in advance,
Anne

Hi Anne,

If that's not the case, I think the best thing is to contact the author and ask whether the line numbering is really necessary and if it is, how he/she wants it done. The author might want to check the journal's style guide. I have never come across one that requires line numbers but it may depend on the journal and the field. ▲ Collapse

Not my job, mate Jan 7, 2018

I simply tell my clients that this kind of fiddly formatting thing is their responsibility, unless they want to pay extra. And they never do
