Word 2003 had a very useful menu for counting characters. All you needed to
do was to select the text whose characters you wanted to count (with or
without spaces) and to click the "count" button. I've recently changed to
Word 2007 and unfortunately, that menu is nowhere to be found. Instead, every
time I need to count the characters of one word, I must click a button and I
see the whole thing "characters with spaces, characters with no spaces,
lines, etc.". However, it's not as useful as the one before, because you
cannot skip to the next word before clicking OK and restarting the procedure
all over again.
Is there any way of bringing that old menu back? It would save my day!
