I need a program that does a word count. I have word perfect 10 (windows xp)
but cant seem to find it on there. am I crazy? If not, what program DOES have
a word count included? this is for a writing course and when I had windows
2000, it had it.
 
Word Perfect

At the top left hand side of the screen you will see an option on the menu
bar marked ‘File’. Click on that and a drop down menu will appear. On that
menu select ‘Properties’. You will then see a screen with two tabs. Select
the tab marked ‘Information’.

MS Word also does this. It's a basic statistic on the file, taken from
File, Properties, Statistics. I think you'll find that virtually all, if
not all, word processors have this function.

Several points:

1. This is not a Windows XP question, and is really inappropriate
here.

2. WordPerfect 10 has nothing to do with Windows XP. It can run on
several operating systems.

3. This is an application issue, and has nothing to do with what
operating system you run. What you could do in Windows 2000 is
irrelevant.

4. I'm a WordPerfect user myself, and although I can't remember
specifically how to do this on WordPerfect 10, assuming that it's like
later versions, go to File | Properties, and look for the word count
there.
 
Mark:

Thank you very much! Wouldn't it of much simplier if it only said word count
under tools or something? even my old word processor simply said word count!
Thanks so very much for helping a newbe-computer owner!

I posted my question here because when I used a search..it pointed me to
this! someone was kind enough to answer me and i greately appreciated it.
being told "it's inappropriate" to have posted it, well, I'm sorry. but for
those of us who don't spend every waking moment with a computer are sometimes
thrown for a loop. I spent over an hour looking for somewhere to ask this
question. the program said "microsoft wordperfect 10" I assumed thats what it
was.
sorry for the inconvenience.

No inconvenience, and if you'll read my reply in full, you'll see that
I also answered your question.

No program says "microsoft wordperfect 10" because WordPerfect is not
a Microsoft product, but a product of Corel. You will find very few
WordPerfect users here in this Microsoft newsgroup, but because I
happen to be one, I answered you. Asking your question in the
appropriate place increases your chances of getting the answer you are
looking for, and that's the most important reason for you to ask in
the appropriate place. Corel has its own newsgroups, where WordPerfect
questions are asked and answered all the time.
