UPDATE:

This new version (V1.5) removes line numbers.

The other version (v1) retains line numbers for anyone interested in research purposes.

A big thanks to Harry for showing me how to remove line numbers from within a text! I'm shouting, Harry: THANK YOU!!

Please report any formatting problems so that Harry can fix them! -- Hahahahahah

Here's one for all of us, the Middle English version.

This version has line numbers to the left.

I'm working on another version right now - deleting line numbers line by line by line by line......well, you get the idea.

I don't know when I'll be finished with that one, as there are thousands of line numbers to delete. This version, even with the ugly line numbers, can be used for research purposes, however.

Give thanks to Harry for this version:knife:, but any mistakes or problems are purely of my creating. Please let me know if there are any errors in formatting.

Thanks.

Wonderful - thanks, Don :grin:

BTW, since all the line number are of the form "number:" you should be able to get rid of them with a "regular expression" search and replace.

This should work:

Search for: [0-9]*\:
Replace by: <nothing>

and check the "RegEx" box.

ie search for an arbitrarily long sequence of the characters 0-9, followed by a colon.

I did a search, but no results. Is this available here in imp or rtf format?
Thanks!
