I have a word count tool online so long as it's plain text and you don't try to send the full binary of an office type document; I paste marked text right into it and it's done quite well so far. http://hoh.me.uk/wc Hth, RobH. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark BurningHawk Baxter" <markbaxter38@xxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2011 2:13 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Word count in Text Edit?
