Choose the number of lines of a text
I need some help. I'm doing a translation and when I translated it didn't get the same number of lines of the original (and it is necessary that it has the same number). The number of lines is 300, so I can't do that by myself. So I want to know if there's some way to do that on Word. Like automatically line breaking the text so that it has a number "x" of lines.

Hello Arthurfogo7 ,
just out of professional curiosity - why do you use Word for that? Why don't you use SDL Trados Studio, MemoQ, Memsource? (those I have experience with, but there are others....)
All of these can import Word document and produce a Word document in the end, identifying the lines for you... Lenka
In Word, there is no simple way to specify a particular number of text lines per page, for example. What you can do is set a fixed value for line spacing. Some trial and error will be required to find the appropriate value. See also http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/BottomLine.htm.
