Hi Marg. I don't have Word 2003, but there should be a Word Count option in the tools menu. From memory this has been constant in Word over the last few versions, so I'm pretty confident this will work. If on the other hand we were talking about 2007, due to the many changes in that I'd have my doubts!HTH.

Is there an automatic word count, or will I have to count them myself? Many thanks Marg
