I would like create a number line from 1 to 200, for use by primary school students. Any ideas or help with such a document would be helpful.
Thanks
Please, edit your question (= modify it, don’t use a comment) to better describe your goal. Try to give an example or a mock-up. Don’t forget to mention OS name, LO version and your preferred save format, odt vs. doc(x) (remembering that most formatting directives are persistent only in odt).
You can build a numberline 0-200 (why 1-200?) with Calc (diagram) and exported and converted in Draw. The problem could be: Are the numbers readable? How do you scale the printout? …

EDIT1
Later on you could diminish the page size of the Draw file (height) and then print on several pages and stick them together.

EDIT2
For overlapping (better to stick) the single pages export the Draw file into PDF format then print out with foxit PDF reader (for Windows) which is able to apply and alter some overlapping extent…
EDIT3
This proceeding does not need the use of Writer (category)…

To customise the number line creation, also in Calc,
- Enter 0 in Cell A1 and left-align it. Fill sequence to GS1. Size cell GS1 to minimum width that will keep number in a single row. Use the same size to set the width of columns A:GS
- Select cells A2:GR2 and apply a border of say 1.5pt to three sides to get a U shape, set padding to 0
- Adjust height of A1:GS2 to suit. Copy A1:GS2
- Open new document in Draw set page size to A0.
- Paste Special as Graphics Device Interface metafile (GDI)
- With object selected click File > Export, tick box Selection, select type as SVG (or svgz), and give it a name and place to save.

I wonder if a real folding meter stick isn’t the better solution…

JUST FOR FUN!
I created a WRITER document (labels; data base controlled) for the number line…
