Stop auto word count
Word count automatically counts every couple minutes or so in my document and
I can't do anything while its running. It says to hit escape to stop but it often doesn't work and I have to wait til its done to continue working. Is there anything I could do? |

Stop auto word count
Assuming this is Word 2007 (since I don't think word count runs automatically
in any other version), you can right click on the status bar and deselect 'Word Count' from the 'Customize Status Bar' menu. That should stop the word count from running automatically. -- Cheers!

Stop auto word count
Unfortunately that won't do it.
This is Word 2003 and in large documents (200+ pages), it'll just start automatically running this word count thing. Especially after you've done some editing/saving that triggers it to start running again. I wonder if its a glitch in our copy of microsoft.
