Figure 88: Line numbering example
You can choose how many lines are numbered (for example, every line
or every tenth line), the numbering type and whether numbers restart
on each page. In addition, a text separator (any text you choose) can be
set on a different numbering scheme (one every 12 lines, for example).

Tracking changes to a document
You can use several methods to keep track of changes made to a
document.
• Make your changes to a copy of the document (stored in a
different folder, under a different name, or both), then use Writer
to combine the two files and show the changes you made. Click
Edit > Compare Document. This technique is particularly
useful if you are the only person working on the document, as it
avoids the increase in file size and complexity caused by the other
methods.
