Can you number each paragraph of a long article and add line numbers?

Guide ,
Aug 15, 2025 Aug 15, 2025

I have seen scripts that can add line numbers, but they seem to change easily.


When text is added or deleted, it can sometimes be difficult to find a specific location.
I usually make changes from the back, so that the page numbers and layout don't change, making it easy to find.
But sometimes, when clients are standing right next to you, they like to Revise the draft from the front to the back.

In this case, you want to be able to quickly find a specific paragraph.
If the low-quality draft and ID file both have paragraph numbers, wouldn't it be quick?

 

Like this, but using positioning objects is too complicated.
Is there another way?

Open the file in InCopy and do that there.

We still have to edit the manuscript ourselves. Looking at the client's red-marked corrections on paper InDesign file
Is there an advantage to using Incopy by yourself?
The client is unlikely to use it.

Indesign revisions may be more intuitive.

 

In addition to object styles, is there a color block that can display paragraph numbers but cannot be printed?
