I need to count the lines in a document without the blank lines being counted
as well. It seems that it counts the lines if you "enter" down to skip a
space and then continue typing. For example:

Dear John:

I am having difficulty.

Sincerely,

Sue This would count 7 lines instead of 4!

It would be much easier if the document was formatted properly and was set
for double spacing as opposed to hitting the Enter key twice.

Agreed. But for "cheaters," Greg Maxey has a solution:
