[mac4theblind] Re: What are some good word processor programmes that are free, work with Voiceover and Lion?

Bean will give a word count. It also does basic formatting. Voiceover will give 
you info on the formatting. You might find that accessing the pdf through print 
preview works to count pages.

I always understood that nanocount was a sort of extension program of textedit 
and didn't work with other word processors. I have found the nanocount/textedit 
a good combination though.
