Justify a line of Latin language text
Hello faszikam,
first and foremost you need to set your goal - the why in why do you need it to look the same.
- If it is just for an academic paper, you don't need to worry. Set a style and apply the style.
- If you need to have it in two columns, use the continuous breaks to create an in-text section for two columns.
- The same applies if you don't want to have two columns but want to have the lines numbered. You need to create an in-text section (using continuous section breaks) and mark that text with line numbers. Use this page (How to number every nth line in Word 2013 | Just Another Microsoft Office Blog (wordpress.com)) to follow the set-up for every fifth line. Of course - apply the style if you need the text to look different.
- If you need to have paragraphs, not lines, to be numbered, create a table and paste each paragraph in a new row. Put automated numbering into the first column. Apply the "latin-text" style within the second table-column.
Since I don't have the exact goal you are trying to approach, these are the general rules I used when I worked with middle-English texts or with poems/plays in my papers.
I hope this helps you to get started.
