Yes. Don't use NotePad
.
I use ExamDiff (
http://www.prestosoft.com/edp_examdiff.asp) to look at the old and new files and see the differences. ExamDiff gives me the line numbers.
However, I do use NotePad to edit my files, I just use the Find command (pasting in a line from ExamDiff) to find a nearby line to insert the stuff in.
There are many other text editing programs that give you the line number of the file. Most are described as programming text editors. I suggest you search for one or perhaps people who use them could post some of their favorites.
