Mmm. Basically, the answer to your question is, No. You can't really know this
ahead of time. You can only determine it once it's already happened - and
there is no event that will tell you it's happened.
If you've written the text to the document (using Range.Text, preferably), you
can get the number of lines like this:
Range.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticLines)
