[AS][CS3] counting paragraph lines

Hi!

Is there a way to count how many lines of text there are on a paragraph and then add some line breaks if there are not enough lines?

Correct answer sstanleyau

"count of lines" will give you the number of lines. To add extra lines, just set the contents of the chosen insertion points to newline.

Thanks Larry but no help.

The insert point is still off after first occurence.

Work backwards, as Larry said, and try insertion point -2 (ie, before the existing return).
