------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Jul 21 13:57:17 +0000 2010 ------- As I hope the developers can see from this string of comments, there is a need for this, especially at the professional level. Having a running word/character count built in is a necessity, and everyone like me, mcdragon, etc. who needs it right now has to use workarounds. Evidently it is not all that difficult to actually do it just by using the existing wordcount macro, which Yawar did four years ago (referenced in other messages: http://yawar.blogspot.com/2006/05/live-word-count-script-for.html). It works well, but it is still a floating toolbar instead of something that starts automatically and nests somewhere in that half-empty status bar. I'm not trying to minimize the actual work that might be involved, since obviously adding this feature requires more than just stuffing a python script into a complex program. But I think most other wp software has such a feature at this point - and having it available would make it that much easier for writing, editing, translating Office users to switch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
