[stylist] word count

[Donna Hill]

Dave,
Within Word:
Select all using Control+a for the entire document or go to the top of 
the part in question and select from cursor to the bottom of the page 
with control+shift+end (1 on calculator).
Open tools: Alt, t
Down arrow to Word count . dialog
Enter, and it  will immediately read the info to you. If you miss it, 
root Jaws cursor to PC cursor (Jaws keyplus the key at the extreme top 
right of the calculator), and use up and down arrows to get the info you 
need.

Note, the word count dialog has info on page and  character count (with 
and without spaces) which is crutial for posting to Twitter, for 
instance. Also, it's necessary when posting articles to sites, as there 
is often a character limit to the title and summary fields.
HTH,
Donna
