Da'anzho Apache, (in the immortal words of Yogi Berra, You can look it up)

  


It's prob'ly been ten year since I logged in, maybe longer, so I tried to
register, BUT . my email is already in use, so I tried to log in, BUT . the
two most common user names I use weren't recognized, BUT . you don't have a
link to email me my username upon some further identification.

  


Let me ask what I want to know.  I wrote a 425 page novel 30 years ago
before computers that almost got published, BUT . merger mania intervened,
and those editors were offed.  Staples converted it to PDF.  Adobe
supposedly converted that to Word, BUT . only the first 14 pages are
editable, and eve they had every kind of typographical reconfiguration like
bunching words together, some of which I could space apart, others I had to
paste and redo, as well as 50 megaspaces between words on every page that I
had to backarrow.

 The rest reverts to Picture Tools in purple above the task
bar with that insidious cross of theirs everywhere I move the cursor, like
the target fixture in a sub periscope screen, aiming to blow up my whole
document AND Word with it.

  


I don't recall seeing Apache Word or Writing or Office as an option in the
Adobe export menu.  IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, SO I CAN EDIT MY OLD
NOVEL?

  


Thanks.

Hi,

the function under Tools / "Count words" does not count the 
characters correctly.


I write 500 characters of text, OO tells me that I wrote only 416 characters.

But this text has exactly 243 characters, your program shows 237 characters.


Well, by my count this has 237 characters - so I think OpenOffice is 
right! Maybe the count of 416 was right too. (You've kept the 
evidence secret.) Are you perhaps counting your presses of Enter - to 
create paragraph breaks, not to add any additional characters in the 
text - as characters? Or do you have unnecessary spaces at the end of 
each paragraph which you are counting?


Or are you comparing the result with that from some other program, 
which must be the one that is suspect?


I trust this helps.
