Judith,
There is a utility in Frame that will do word counts. Under the File menu,
there is a choice called Document Reports or Document Info (I'm doing this from
memory, so it may not be exactly right). Then you need to choose Reports, and
Word count should come up as a default. That's all there is to it...pretty
simple. Sorry if the directions are not exact. I used it today, and now I've
forgotten exactly what I did (onset of ...)!!
Regards,
Steve Iverson
