Number lines for legal documents (“Pleading Pages” or “Pleading Paper”)
Many lawyers require a vertical line that runs down the page between the line numbers and
document body. According to
< http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/rules > Rule 2.108:
Line numbers must be placed at the left margin and separated from the text of the paper by a
vertical column of space at least 1/5 inch wide or a single or double vertical line. Each line
number must be aligned with a line of type, or the line numbers must be evenly spaced
vertically on the page. Line numbers must be consecutively numbered, beginning with the
number 1 on each page. There must be at least three line numbers for every vertical inch on the
page.
Set up your “Pleading Page” or “Pleading Paper”
Use the Page Borders palette, explained in Use the Page Borders palette to put a line around the
edge of your page beginning on page 131, along with the Line Numbers and Paragraph palettes to
prepare your document as illustrated in Figure 305 on page 282. You can save the file as a “.dot”
file (explained in “Understanding Template (Stationery) Documents” on page 115) so that it is
always available to give you a fresh page of stationery.
