Inserting a line

Hi

Let's say I have a file with 500 lines. I see a place that needs some text, say between lines 5 and 6.

Inserting a number like 5.1 does not work. Using the same line number 5 for the new line doesn't work - it just plays the first instance.

Renumbering every line after the new line manually is a big job.

I thought of sticking the file into excel, sticking a formula to renumber the lines, then saving it back as text. That's using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Any tips or tricks to achieve what I want easier?

Thanks.
