= SUMMARY =

In Word version 4.00 the Line Counter does not count blank lines in a document created by setting the “space after:” or “space before:” fields under the Format Paragraph command to a digit greater than zero, or by setting the “line spacing:” field to a digit greater than 1.

This limitation occurs by design. When Word counts lines, it counts only those lines containing body text (the text may or may not be hidden). Word does not count text in the margins (for example, page numbers or running heads) or any extra spacing between lines or paragraphs. Physical lines of text are counted; separate lines of text from two columns or side-by-side paragraphs are counted as the same line if they are both on the same physical line.

This was changed beginning with Word version 5.00.
