I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s easy on a PC, but how to do this is not obvious when you use MSWord on a Mac.<\/p>\n<p>Because I interviewed 16 participants for my PhD, I had 16 transcripts to prepare for analysis. As I didn\u2019t know how to go about adding line numbers the easy way, I wasted hours numbering lines manually. Then I had the good fortune to speak to Richard Johns at IT Support Services. I explained to him what I wanted to do, and he said that he would investigate for me. About a week later, Richard sent me a link which explained how to do this in a few simple steps. Like magic, I\u2019ve saved hours of time. Thank you, Richard.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4090\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4090\" style=\"width: 238px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/line-numbering1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4090 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/line-numbering1.jpg?resize=238%2C281&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"line numbering\" width=\"238\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/line-numbering1.jpg?w=238&amp;ssl=1 238w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/line-numbering1.jpg?resize=127%2C150&amp;ssl=1 127w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Voila!
