Thanks.  Now I have a new problem (for me) for which I am almost sure there 
will be no tool for.  First, for one of the journals that my paper could be 
submitted to, a word count goes a long way but for another (PNAS) it seems 
that they have a total character limit (words, spaces - including spaces 
between words and so forth, but also the space taken up by figures and 
tables).
  I'll ask anyway...is there a tool/means of counting not only the words, but 
also the total number of characters in a document?  I'll not worry about the 
space taken by figures and tables since they can be scaled down (to a point) 
as needed.  A word count gives me 5500, so a rough guestimate of characters 
is at least twice that amount...
