She wonders how she can ensure that each page has the requisite number of lines. There are many settings within a Word document that factor into how Word flows your text on a page and throughout a document.
In order to understand how Word determines the number of lines on a page, you need to understand the workings of each of these settings. The first thing to check—which Martha has apparently done—is the margin settings.
If you set the margins for one inch on all sides and you are using a standard letter-size sheet of paper, that will leave you nine inches of vertical space on a page. Eleven inches minus one inch at the top and one inch at the bottom leaves nine inches. At this point it is a bit handy to start working in points no pun intended.
In Word there are 72 points per inch, which means your nine inches of vertical space is equivalent to points. Divide this by the number of lines you want on the page 25 , and you end up with This is your line spacing and is a very important number to know; you'll use it in a moment. You now need to change some of your paragraph settings. You can do this explicitly, if you want, by selecting paragraphs and making the settings.
It is much more versatile, however, to make the changes in the styles you'll use in your document. That way they can be easily applied to new text that you add. Regardless of which you choose—explicit or styled—making the actual changes has been discussed in other issues of WordTips. The important thing for this tip is to understand which settings you actually need to change.
Start by displaying the Paragraph dialog box. Again, this could either be for explicit formatting or by modifying a style.
Start with the Indents and Spacing tab. See Figure 1. Figure 1. The Indents and Spacing tab of the Paragraph dialog box. So the first gridline marks the top of the first line of type. The second gridline marks the bottom of the first line of type, and the top of the second line.
The third gridline, marks the bottom of the second line of type and the top of the third. So each line of type requires two gridlines. Therefore, if you want 30 actual lines of text on a page, set gridlines to If you 28 lines of text, set gridlines to Alistair Langford-Wilson, your response here is of amazing use, particularly in this age where many authors are self-publishing and using Microsoft Word to typeset their books.
I have now published 26 or 27 books using your advice. Though I still run into the occasional page that is a line short and I just can figure it out! At the time, this was a variation of my Normal paragraph style, with two changes: no First Line indent, and 1 line of Space Before. I recently created an additional style, which is similar but also has 1 line of Space Below. This style is intended for a single character, centered on the line, with 1 line of space above and below, as a more visual clue to the scene break.
This occurred even though my new style was entirely defined in units of grid lines. As soon as I checked that option, everything fell back into place. Can anyone help? I am trying to figure out how to do cascading text in Word so that the paragraph will look like an inverted triangle where all the lines in the paragraph are centered, but the margins keep decreasing slightly for the next line, etc.
Dave Starr makes this clear in his last two paragraphs. My choice would be the top and bottom margins, with the larger change assigned to the bottom margin. Also, assuming Word permits saving empty documents with assigned margin, spacing, font and size settings, the last step in the process would be to delete the text from a copy of the document, then save it as a template for future use.
Regards, Barry. Getting numbered lines is straightforward, as you say.
