Need word/character counting software - jean


Posted: Jul 15, 2013

Can anyone recommend a word/character counting software? Have used Sylcount Gold IV for years but it keeps bombing on me and I have upgraded and paid countless times. The help line is of minimal help. Thanks for anyones suggestions. Jean

there is a word counter on the Tools tab. Instant Text, which is a word expander also has a tool that will count your lines and calculate your invoices for you.

total assistant - works fine

I have had it for years, changed computers and just redownload and put in the code to activate it that I have had from the start. Reasonable price too

This one works - BGR

Abacus - free download. I've used this before and it's a good program.
