Line count program recommendation - Lesley
Posted: Nov 09, 2011
Can anybody recommend a reliable line count program that will count in the Word 2010 program? I used to use Abacus which you could access directly in Word if you inserted a shortcut to it. This way I could finish a document, count it, then close it with a password. Abacus apparently doesn't work in Word 2010 and I've been experimenting wtih other counting programs but haven't found one that is as easy to use ... everything so far seems to require many more steps. I use a gross line count. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!
I use Sylcount - sm for link

I have been using this since 2005. At that time they had a free trial of 100 uses - I don't know if they still do. I bought it after the trial period and it works great, easy to use, and suits my needs perfectly.
Thank you - do you happen to count any lines in charts or tables? - Lesley

I find that I can't get an accurate line count with these in Sylcount. Is this just to be expected and I should plan on handcounting these? Some of these files are very large.

Recommendation For Line Count Software Jun 15, 2012I've searched on MTStars high and low already and only get posts that are so old the links no longer work or the product is no longer available.
My question is can someone recommend an inexpensive (under $50) Line Counting Software that counts headers/footers? And could you please include a link so I can find this software? It does not even have to gin up an invoice but just counts lines (including headers/footers).
Many thanks. ...

Line Count Program For Windows 8.1 Oct 06, 2014I had to get a new computer and now have Windows 8.1 Professional.
