I've always made the row numbers formulae like this:

a) Put the number 1 in cell A1
b) Put the formula =a1+1 in cell A2
c) Copy cell A2 down as many rows as you need.
d) Insert a row between two rows
e) Copy the cell above the blank cell to the blank
cell and the cell below the blank cell.

Hi, is it possible to number my line in a way that if in the future I have to
add someone in between the rest of the lines will renumber themselves
automatically. It is for a mail run . We can do that with field in Word
