| 175883 | 2003-09-17 04:59:00 | With Word 2002 I can go: View, Toolbars, Word Count. It will then add a word count tool bar which I can click or use <alt>+<c> to update. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 175884 | 2003-09-17 07:22:00 | will this work on works? as i have works (not by choice just came with the machine) may try and look a bit deeper later. beetle |

| 175885 | 2003-09-17 09:25:00 | ok have been told that this will not work on works, but may have to try else where for another form of it / icon etc. may be just easier if i went and got a new prog all together that actually does all these things i want, Word? or something else ? what can you recomend and is it all pricey? beetle |

| 175886 | 2003-09-17 09:26:00 | I don't think you can do that with Works. I looked for a way to do a Macro like one keystroke but was unsuccesful. Lokks to me like the two click solution is best. In Works.... Menu... Tools.... Word count. |

| 175887 | 2003-09-17 10:16:00 | Beetle, I don't know whether this will work for you. Select - View-Toolbars-Customize-In Command Tab select Tools-Then drag Word Count to any Toolbar. Cheers |

| 175888 | 2003-09-17 21:59:00 | Hiya Beetle :-) If Shortstop's suggestion doesn't work for you then you are out of luck I'm afraid . I had a look for a keyboard shortcut program for you but none of the free ones that I have seen will record a macro to create a shortcut . That means it will cost you to get such a program and their prices don't seem to warrant it just for that . :-( You could have a look at getting Word since you are using a word processor so much because Word XP has a word count toolbar plus heaps of other features that Works does not have . Have a look in your paper and see if anyone has Word for sale . Unfortunately it usually comes with Office rather than stand-alone, and you don't really need Office but if it was cheap enough that would be OK . The other thing is to wait until the "Student" specials for Office come out, usually at the beginning of the year . |

I use Windows 98 and have word 97 and Works 4.5 installed. I tried the above in Works 4.5 and it worked perfectly for me, so it is bound to work in your much later version too. And thanks for the tip Shortstop, although I always use Word in preference to Works. :) Cheers, :) |
