Thanks for the quick reply, Greg, but I'm not sure how to use what you've
posted!? Is it within Word, or is it a separate program?
Sorry, I'm a little slow when it comes to some of the more technical stuff...

Hello,
I have been told that somewhere in Word there is a way to check how
frequently a word occurs in the English language. I'm trying to
determine word frequencies for a large list of words and if I have
the option of doing it within the Word program, that would be heaps
quicker.
Hope someone can help me....Thanks!
