Solutions: Enhancement:
A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to count the number of lines in a document.

Answer:
Although there is not a feature that will count lines, users can create a macro. This macro will count the number of lines, print the last page of the document, then delete the line numbering codes. Customer can do this by pressing Home, Ctrl-F10, and entering a description for the macro. Users will then be placed in the Macro Editor. The following table lists the codes as they should appear in the Macro Editor, the actual keystrokes to be used, and a description of what the codes do.
