Hi Dale:

I misunderstood what you were asking -- I thought you meant
take the text from Word and put it into VB6; I realize now that
you meant the other way around.

As Karl mentioned, you can use the SendMessage API
and EM_GETLINECOUNT; however, that does not take into
account the differences between the two controls (word and vb6)
wrt font characteristics and the width of the controls.
