Dose wordcount count each word? or just those over 3 letters?
I would like to know weather the wordcount counts each seperate word
(including words such as a, i, am, and, so, he, the and so on) or weather it discounts such words and only 'proper' word attribute to the wordcount (such as: hello, wordcount, attribute, microsoft and so on). If somebody knows the awnser could you please let me know. Thankyou for your time. |

It counts all of them - copy your list to a Word document and count them!

Thankyou. It it possibel to make it just count word that have four or more characters? Possible? Yes. Easy? No. It would require that *you* *program* something in VBA. -- Amedee Van Gasse using XanaNews 1.17.5.7 If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?

Hi,
You can search using wildcards. In the "Find" dialog box make sure "use wildcards" is ticked. Enter the search string: [A-z][A-z][A-z][A-z] Then click on "Find in entire document" And Word will report how many words with 4 letters and above there are in the document.

Yes, such a great tip, DXMach. I love the "Find/Replace" feature, and this
just confirms my enthusiasm again. But the full gratitude goes to people like you who care enough about others to help. Thanks!
