    This is STILL a problem in Word 2018 (version 16.21 for Mac). How come Microsoft have ignored this horrible amateur-level fault for over a decade! Do people just not use line numbers anymore? Or is it that microsoft engineers cannot find out how to fix
    it?

    Because Microsoft hates Apple. I used to keep an older version of Word on my computer to do this specifically.

    2023 and this is still an issue despite having the newest Word software... HOW? Scientists need to be able to report line numbers and concurrent track changes to journals!!! This has to be fixed!!!!!

    I have noticed that it resolves only when I view the document in 'simple mark-up' which is not helpful as I need to submit changes to a journal with 'all mark up'

    Hi all,

    This is only a turnaround. You can still track all changes ('all mark up') but display changes in the text only to have continuous line numbering between pages (in Word 2016 on Windows, at least). The issue with inconsistant line numbering could come
    from tracking all changes with bubbles in the margin, apparently...

    Did it work for you?
