Ahh, I at first thought that's what you meant. I've used it occasionally
(e.g., I reproduce a classic text for students, I want to be able to
point them to line number so and so), but it is cranky. It is
particularly cranky, I found, about line spacing, if one is doing
anything "sophisticated". The only thing that I can offer as a
desparation measure is, when you have a working one, create a style that
incorporates EVERY setting at the LN point and USe that style ever after.
