Use a word processor which allows line numbering like Word or Libre Office as mentioned above. Note that this is a feature of the display and isn't included in the standard file as such so you can't import that into Publisher. However, if you save as a pdf then the numbers will show up like in the attached example.

 

Sheesh! It seems so long winded for a programme which is supposed to offer 'publishing' support. I suppose it's primarily designed for magazines etc. Oh well...

Thank you very much for your example (I can see you're word and I'm Pages but I assume similar would apply).  Am I missing something when I ask: why I would use a word processer then transfer it to Publisher (it seems that would doing the job twice)?

The only way to do this 'properly' is to use separate paragraph returns at the end of each line in the story, then use some sort of insert line numbers macro in your word processor.

 

Actually, this seems for me (a bit of a Luddite) the easiest and most practical option. 

This is definitely worth a try before attempting the more complicated options suggested.

Thanks so much!

If the job has not been finished yet,

I'm afraid I have finished it. However, I am very grateful for the time you have put in to replying and the examples. Yes, it does seem such an effor.  It may be easier to fall back on Pages and PDFs for the next project until this is made easier. I don't seem to be able to add footnotes easily either which, for education, is essential.

Thanks for helping!

Unless using 2 columns and a Paragraph style with numbered list... I don't thing it's easy.

Thank you so much for your reply and your detailed example.  It's definitely given me a sound option.

I'm very grateful for your time and effort.

Frankly, I would probably do it in LibreOffice, which has the function as a standard part of the product, rather than in Publisher.

Thank you for your reply. I use mac - and you're right, Pages/Word seems easier to use in this respect.

How do I add line numbers to frame text for an educational ebook, please?

I've watched the frame text tutorials and the numbering only seems to relate to paragraphs.  I want to be able to line number across a document which contains a short story so that I can direct stdents to a particular word or phrase within a line.

I'm a total amateur so if you have some advice please use baby steps - I'd be so grateful. 

Thank you.

[How to resize and export Jpegs of the same image]

Hello, can you help?

I've been searching the tutorials and help for hours and cannot find an answer to this question:

I want to create print ready downloadable art of the same image but in different sizes - how do I do this inside the programme?

In none of the export options does it SEEM to give me the option to customise the size in either inches and cm for the same image in JPEG.  

Am I doing something stupid, not looking in the right place, is there already a tutorial that I've missed?

Thank you in advance for your knowledgeable (and patient) response.

Kelly

N.B. I'm a total beginner.

Thank you for your patience, Alfred.

 

[Command C + Copy not working in designer]

Thank you for the elaboration on the theme and for the additional information, all of you @dutchshader and Alfred and @firstdefence I'm not sure what you mean just yet as I am amateur to graphic design and completely clueless - however, I hope to come back to your advice later and be able to understand and use your tips!  

[Command C + Copy not working in designer]

Yep, that works, thank so much for helping. 

[Command C + Copy not working in designer]

Thanks for replying.  I'm trying to copy a shape (round) = basically so they are identical. 

[Command C + Copy not working in designer]

Anyone know what I might have done?

I'm new to designer and still learning.

Thank you

[Not recognising my account]

Sorry if this question is in the wrong place but I have searched elsewhere and can't find anywhere else suitable.

I bought and installed Affinity Design on my Mac last year  - I haven't had the time to use it much but I went to the store to buy the workbook and it didn't recognise my account.  I receive marketing emails to my email address and as I have bought the product I find it strange - especially as I had no problems logging not the forum from the app on my mac.

Is there a simple reason that I'm not seeing?

Cheers
