Line numbering macros

[Sandy Henning]

I need to create a document with line numbering using a template other
than what is shipped with wordperfect 7 because I am saving the document
in ascii to load into a program called LegalEz. What happens is all my
line numbering and page numbering format is stripped from the document
when it is saved in ascii format. Is there a macro I can write, create
or is already out there that will number the lines on a page and count
my pages for me? I also need to manually insert a hard page break in
order for this program to recognize pages. Is there a macro out there
that can do that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The nature of an ASCII text document is that it contains little or no
formatting. That's why the formatting is stripped.

So the means of getting the same result in an ASCII text document that
is in a WordPerfect document is to use solely text, i.e. act as if you
are creating the document in a straight ASCII editor. That would mean
numbering the lines by hand, doing the page numbering by hand as part
of the body of the document, creating any "headers" or "footers" as
part of the body of the document.

Have you checked with the LegalEz people to see what import formats
they support? There might be some other format you could SaveAs your
document that could be imported into LegalEz.

Perhaps she might try to convert these documents by:
1. 1st create a new printer defined as Generic in Windows 95 or NT (a 1
time effort).
2. for each finalized document select this "Generic" printer
3. print to a FILE
4. Then her program should accept that FILE (ASCII)
