Dr. Lisse,
Brilliant! Thank you so much. This is clearly the best option, I still have
to learn more before using it.
For example, I get the error:
"LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in lines.pdf (no BoundingBox)."
But if I "show output anyway" I get lined paper. Lines are going horizontal
rather than vertical, but nonetheless there is my text AND numbered lines in
the same document!
Thanks again!
John
