Guest Highway2MD Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 does anyone know an easy way to count the number of characters we are typing in the application? I often exceed and then have to go back and edit the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Platinum84 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Microsoft Word has a word count function (and character count). So what I did was type in Word until I had it the way I wanted (while continually checking the character-count) and then just copy-pasted into the area. Also keep in mind that hitting Enter counts as (I think) 2 characters. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madz25 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Just adding to what Platinum 84 said. Yes, hitting enter (ie. new paragraph) counts as 2 characters. You should note that Microsoft Word doesn't incorporate the extra 2 characters in its character count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Talon01 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Be aware, some versions of word don't count spaces as characters and finding this out the night before it's due isn't fun (yes, I'm speaking from experience). Like suggested, copy and paste into the application box just to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
