How to remove line numbering from the Header?

How do you limit line numbering to the body content?

That happened automatically in my LO 4.0.3.3. I could not insert line numbers into the header until I modified the header paragraph style.

@spraine - Could you possibly upload screen shots to make sure that your problem is understood?

@spraine, the link in the answer below by @man_jk eventually points here: Adding Line Numbers - LibreOffice Help

Please have a look at WRITER: Line numbering in header/footer?

You are probably having a problem with paragraph styles.

  1. Select paragraph.
  2. From styles select “Text Body” (you probably now have some heading style).
