Counting the number of lines is gonna be tough. You can look at the HPSF
properties, but the property may not be present, and may not be correct if
even if it is present. Without relying on the value stored in document
properties, you will have to compute line sizes yourself. It means you need
to compute where each line of the document will wrap, by taking into account
the size and spacing of each string of characters. You need access to
FontMetrics, which is largely unavailable from Java.
Did you know that the number of lines could depend on which printer was last
selected? I think Word wraps lines according to the device context of the
current printer. So a printer with a different resolution may cause the
lines to wrap slightly differently.
I have seen this effect on newsletters and other 'desk top publishing
documents' done in Word. If you mail the newsletter from one person to
another, and the recipient does not have the same printer driver, the
recipient may very well find that the lines in the document wrap
differently, or even in extreme cases, that the document has a different
number of pages.

If you don't want to count words and lines yourself but instead rely on
the document's properties, you should HPSF to access the latter.
