There is no telephone support as OpenOffice is a freely downloadable program. You will find a word count in OpenOffice by /Tools /Word count; this by default will count the words in the entire document. If you select text, it will count the words in the selection. /File /Properties : Statistics tab will give you other statistics and word count for the document. An installable extension to put a running word count on the status bar (bottom bar of screen) can be downloaded from http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/word-count-statusbar-controller Note that here can be slight differences between OpenOffice word count and MS Word Word count due to differing methods of treating punctuation and brackets. . -- Rory O'Farrell <[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
