Line numbering issue in journal submissions

Anonymous

I use word to write my journal article for submission. during the submissions process, when the submission system build the pdf from our word file, it shows that line numbering on 1 page is 1-65 (incosistent with the text), and the line numbering same to all pages which is 1-65. But, the journal requirement is double-spaced and countinous line numbering based on the text in the manuscript. I want to ask, how to fix this issue? Is there any solution to do setting on Word.docx that can make the line numbering that same as the text for journal submissions (automatic pdf convertion on journal system)?

    In Word, how did you create the line numbers? If you made use of the Line Numbering facility which is built into the program, actual text lines would be numbered, regardless of the Line Spacing.

    Hello,

    My name is EngineTyme, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I would be glad to help you.

    To fix the line numbering issue in your manuscript, you can add continuous line numbers to your document in Microsoft Word. This will ensure that the line numbers are consistent with the text and that they are double-spaced, as required by the journal.

    Here are the steps to add continuous line numbers to your manuscript:

    • Open your manuscript in Microsoft Word.
    • Click on the Page Layout tab.
    • Click on the Line Numbers drop-down menu.
    • Select Continuous from the list of options.
    • Click on Line Numbering Options.
    • In the Line Numbers dialog box, select the Double option under Interval.
    • Click on OK to save the changes.

    Once you have added continuous line numbers to your manuscript, you can save the document and submit it to the journal. The automatic PDF conversion system used by the journal should preserve the formatting of the line numbers and ensure that they are consistent with the text.
