------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jul 17 01:05:20 +0000 2009 ------- Hi, I'm a journalist, so I'm constantly working toward a specific word count on every story I write. Having to stop what I'm doing -- and break my though process and generally get out of a writing head space -- to check word count through navigating menus is a constant pain. When at work, and working in Microsoft Office on the Macs there, every station has live word count enabled because it's literally one of the most often-used and necessary features in the program. Aside from spell check, I don't think there's any other feature we use more on a daily basis. Also, because I've managed to find an OpenOffice macro that will provide live word count in a separate window, I don't see why it would be difficult to add this feature. The code is already there, just put it in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. It baffles me that this hasn't been done yet. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
