Re: How do I get a 'word count' for a FM book?...

["Simon North" <north -at- synopsys -dot- COM>]

To word count: 

> Further details:
> FrameMaker 6.0
> Windows 2000
> 436 Chapters in the book!
> Some 'other' files including backups are in the same folder.

You can't do much about the backups except manually count 
them. As for the book ... an interesting CD was shipped with 
version 5.5 of Frame called "Solutions Sampler". It's been much 
ignored, but on it was a Windows version of fmbatch and two tools 
from a company called Trees and Generals (www.dtrain.com). One 
tool clears all the change bars in a book and the other reports the 
page count to a console window of all the files in a book, 
regardless of the numbering schemes used. 

Hope this helps.
