This might look for developers a low profile feature, that nobody needs, but its the feature that is blocking many migrations: I work every few month with several journalists and one thing they always complain every time i manage for then to test openoffice is the openoffice word count is too basic. Please remember that journalists have limits for words/characters for their articles and this is a major feature for then. by talking with then, i figure that a status bar or a special toolbar with the word count stats. Maybe the status bar should have a selected text character/word count (similar to the selected cells SUM in calc) and a new toolbar with all the word count statistics, so people could customize the toolbars with the stats they want... update it manually or every X seconds/minutes or even if the user is idle this is a feature that must be included in the main openoffice (even if not enable by default if you want), as most journalists are too lazy (and most of the time, without enough knowledge) to search and install extensions when they have MSoffice ready to be used. this feature is more important than you might imagine, as journalist make reviews, express opinions, generate a free and important publicity. Even if the journalist is not a tech one, they show co-workers and friends their tools, so it they are happy, other might try it. Managing to conqueror the heart of a journalist is more valuable than most users, just suppressed by CEO and CTO users. This is a simple feature that might do the difference for this target group (and a big bonus for all other that need word count) thanks - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

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.

At work, I write numerous short paragraphs/articles which are limited by word counts of anywhere between 80 and 300. When you are dealing with very small word counts, it's far easier to edit things down or up to the desired number when you can see the count live. I have a macro, which does help, but I'd far rather see the word count somewhere unobtrusive within the actual window. Please. Surely this can't be overly difficult to do, and it's pretty much my only complaint. Hope it can be implemented soon.

You can find the code at http:// yawar.blogspot.com/2006/05/live-word-count-script-for.html. You just have to copy and paste it into an empty file and save it as a .py extension (and you need python libs installed). It works great. It's in a tiny window that doesn't take up too much space (I usually just move it to the bottom of the screen over the status bar, where it should be anyway). The only problem I have with it is having to go Tools Macros Run Macro every time I open a new document. And for the person who recommended AbiWord. I've tried that before and don't care for it. I'm most using this on a laptop with limited screen space. I want my OOo Writer window to be maximized in the screen without any big, obtrusive overlay windows taking up too much space (which AbiWord's live word count window did). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

This is a major issue for me, and while I understand the coding will take time, it would be great to have the macro to use before the next deadline. Does the macro you refer to allow typing while the live word count is open? I found an extension that does not (Writer's Tools). -Zukomi - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

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.

If you use so few other features of OOO I would recommend you migrating away from OOO and use opensource Abiword instead. Abiword has their own problem too, nothing is perfect, but it at least provides a dialog display word count AND the dialog is alive, you can keep it open when you are authoring. I think abiword's shortage on multi-column layout and footnotes are not important to you. I'd perfer writing with left half of my screen and keep the word count dialog on the right half of the screen. It's good to hear you complain because then ooo people is more aware the competition exists in opensource world too (abiword/ooo). In general I think OOO did a good job, but this bug I think belongs to the papercut category https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts thus should be heard. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41454 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Oct 28 02:00:11 -0700 2006 --- Tested the Macro in Neo Office 2 Beta 3 Patch 6--it creates several serious problems. I am aware this is a piliminary, but a headsup for those who want to test it. 1. It doesn't save in a template. 2. It doesn't stay as a preference. 3. It messes up dictionaries so they only will spellcheck in German... (for the document with the Macro active). 4. Tends to crash Neo Office. 5. Doesn't save within a document (once you close poof). So it's good for a demo run, but don't actually use the listed Macro with the intention of using it long-term. Doesn't work, the cursor gets stuck, etc (And I'm running an Intel Mac Pro...) So don't take that Macro seriously... even as a temporary solution. It's a demo, as it said. So I wouldn't run serious/important documents with it active, 'cause as they say, It's just a test, it's just a test so it would show how it would work. I'd like to see this as a preference under preferences... or at least a menu Macro. Be a good alternate to that useless Word Count one where you can't select the window behind it to get a word count. (It beeps and then you have to type some more then activate it, close it, etc). I'll patiently wait for it. Thank you for the hard work on this. --Hitsuji - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
