Count 'line breaks' cell

A script can tell you the height of a cell in a row.

For example, this will tell you the height of the selected cell.

tell application "Numbers"
	tell front document
		tell active sheet
			tell (first table whose class of selection range is range)
				tell first cell of selection range to return height of its row
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

Copy-paste into Script Editor (in Applications > Utilities. Select the cell. Click the triangle 'run' button.

If "nothing happens" make sure Script Editor is listed and checked at System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.

This is just to introduce the possibility of using a script. However, still not sure what you want to do once you know how high a row is.

Hi TD

What effect will counting the number of lines taken by a table, or a portion of a table, have on the end product of your project?

What effect will knowing that count have on the work flow need to produce the end result?

The effect of cells containing more than one row of text is to have room for fewer lines of text on the page.

The location of page breaks in the printed version of a numbers document (whether printed to paper or 'printed' to PDF) is fairly easy to determine directly, by pressing command-P and examining the resulting screen showing the content of each page of the current version of the document. Visually checking for wider margins at the bottoms of some pages will reveal where text wrap has made a 'tall' row wide enough to be pushed onto the next page. Temporarily setting "alternate row colours'" should make individual rows containing wrapped text quite visible,

Regards,

Barry

PS: Usage note: "amounts" are measured and tell 'how much'.

                           "numbers" are counted, and tell 'how many'.

Not sure from your description what you are trying to do but are you using 'Wrap text in cell' ?
