steady on now... I am a translator myself and am more than happy with the new word-count feature in OOo2. I never heard of the one you requested and have never seen the need for it - nor has it, as far as I can remember - been raised when the word count feature was discussed. I am sure that, if the need exists, OOo will incorporate it. Perhaps you should drum up some support... Personally, I charge for empty spaces, too :) Ingo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
