Have the 'Word Count' in the statusbar display the 'Character Coun
Is there anyway to set the 'Word Count' in the statusbar of Word 2007 to
display the 'Character Count' instead. I know you can get it by simply clicking the word count "button" and it will give you all the word count statistics, but it would be much more beneficial to me to have it just show the Character Count. |

No, but if you click on that area of the status bar, you can get the
character count. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Nick" wrote in message ... On Nov 13, 10:10 pm, "Suzanne S.

Have the 'Word Count' in the statusbar display the 'CharacterCoun
Bah, that's unfortunate. I would like the exact same thing: display
character count in status bar (or anywhere else in Word) without having to click on a button and without requiring a dialogue box to pop up every time you want the character count and then you have to close it...ie. a "real-time" character count, just like word count works in the status bar.
