Hi,

I have an unusual question. How many lines of text can be placed in a inch
high window for a 12 pt. font and does this depend on the font?

Is there documentation that can explain how this is measured?

Thanks in Advance,
JeffH

No, but it does depend on the leading (distance between two base lines
of test). If you are using an exact leading (in Format | Paragraph),
it's up to you only. If you use what Word calls "single", that's roughly
120% of the font height. One inch has room for 72 pt. Now you can do the
math. :-)

How big a pt is, that you can look up he
