Hi there,
Thank you for your reply.
It wasnt exactly what I was after. By placing the word count icon on the
quick access toolbar as suggested in your reply, it still doesnt show the
actual count on the screen like in Word 2003. If I press Alt+C in Word 2003
it would refresh the Character count on screen. This doesnt seem to be
possible in Word 2007.
Look forward to your response.
Cheers

In Word 2003 I was able to drag the word count bar onto the desktop or
place
it on the top toolbar. I was also able to choose whether I wanted to show
Words, Characters (with or without spaces), and Paragraphs etc.
I have noticed in Word 2007 that there is a word count down the bottom of
the screen. What I want to know is if I can change it to show the amount
of
characters instead of words like I could in Word 2003?
I am trialling Word 2007 at present.
