Select the paragraph, get the first character line number, select the following paragraph, get the first character line number, decrement, and then you have first and last line numbers.

I want to create a Word VBA macro that will count the number of lines in a selected paragraph.  Based on the number of lines, I want to then modify the "space after" setting to add more space.
I am not sure if a macro can be used to determine the number of lines in a paragraph.  Can a macro can be used to determine the number of lines in a paragraph.  If so, how does the code access this property?

Can a Word macro be used to determine the number of lines in a selected paragraph?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
