word count on Word Perfect

Factual Questions
1

I have seen word processing programs on computers that had a word count tool in them. I have WordPerfect 9, and it didn’t come with any instruction thingy. Does any one else have WordPerfect 9, and do you know if it has a word count program in it?

I also have WordPad if anyone knows if that has a word count thingy.

You can create a Basic Counts report to analyze a writing style. The Basic Counts report determines if there are too many long words, or if paragraphs are too long and complicated for the reader to easily understand.

To view a Basic Counts report

  1. Click Tools, Grammatik.
  2. Click Options, Analysis, Basic Counts.

Note

· Basic Counts does not consider text in tables, headings, footers, lists, or other specially formatted text.

Thanks a bunch, astro. I shudder to think how long it would have taken me to count the words in this stupid essay.

Wow! I have WordPerfect8 and had no idea about this Grammatik option. When I wanted to count words, I went to
FILE > PROPERTIES > INFORMATION. It has about the same kind of information about the document, but not as detailed as what Astro mentioned.
