MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Lines or boxes created with the Format Border command are taken into account when calculating the current cursor position.

With the “line numbers:” and “count blank space:” fields under the Options command set to Yes, regular line styles count as 0.25 lines of text per line. Thick line styles count as 0.5 lines per line of text.

In Word versions 5.5, 6.0, “Show Line Numbers” and “Count Blank Space” are toggled by choosing Preferences from the View menu (ALT, V, E).

For example, with the cursor in the text of the paragraph, the status line indicates 1.5 lines for a 1-line paragraph formatted with a thick border. With a normal, bold, or double border, the status line indicates 1.25 lines.
