Thanks Bob!
Lot of misspellings there … ;-)
Yeah…I forgot to apply the Klingon dictionary to the text. My bad! :)
A couple of issues to note:
1. It will break hyphenation because it injects the line number anchors at the start of each paragraph (which may be within a hyphenated word).
2. It’s a bit wonky for multi-column text frames. The default places the numbers to the left of the text frame (which creates overlapping numbers) and InDesign doesn’t support mirror placements (outside left for column 1; outside right for column 2).
3. You shouldn’t run the script multiple times on the same document as it doesn’t clean up the previously applied numbers first (which can result in duplicate/overlapping numbers).
@ Caleb,
Thanks for those! I’ll try to fix #1 and #3. I’m not sure what to do about #2…
Okay. #1 and #3 were fixed in version 1.0.1.
#2 is not really a bug — more a limitation of InDesign’s anchored objects…
Hi Bob,
For #2, you can apply different paragraph styles like Line Number (Column1) and Line Number (Column 2).
Additionally, I have two feedbacks on this tool:
(1) Giving option to the users to generate Line numbers for whole document, currently tool is running only in the active page
(2) Checking the possiblity to avoid the disturbances of line endings sometimes while adding/removing the line numbers
(3) Providing the option to the users to remove the Line numbers when they are not required, currently tool is removing Line numbers only when the Line numbers are already found during generation
Thanks,
ArcRaj.
Pl. read as object styles, not the paragraph styles mentioned in first para.
Here’s my implementation of adding line numbers.
Unlike Harb’s script, it simply adds a text frame alongside.
Don’t expect it to work with mutiple columns, though!

The latest versions do work with mutiple columns…
