In

acts

this number

and the lines

Suppose, for example, that you have
an
upper margin
of
3
lines,
a header separated
by
2 blank lines
from
your
text.
a footer separated from the
text
by
4 blank lines and
a bottom margin
of
5
lines.
This
takes
up a
total
of
3+1+2+4+5~16
lines.
If
you
have
a page

at
66 lines then there
will
be

If
you
were then
to
