Re: word count in Text Edit? Yep.

2011-11-18 Thread Hai Nguyen Ly
It might be easier to associate a keyboard command with the following Apple 
script for ease of access.
***

tell document 1 of application TextEdit
set wordcount to the (count of words) as text
set charactercount to the (count of characters) as text
end tell
say wordcount   words and   charactercount   characters

 Hi,
 
 If someone ever wants to do a word count in Text Edit, it aint possible 
 natively; but, that does not mean it can't be done.  I found a little utility 
 which takes care of that quite nicely if you don't mind having two apps open.

I suppose then that I paste this code in to the Apple scrip editor and then 
save it to Library/Applications/Text Editor or something?

Not quite sure how to run that.

Hi Ray, 
All you need to do is to copy and paste the script in to the script source edit 
field within a new document using AppleScript Editor and save the script in a 
preferred location. Once this has been done, you can use the VO keyboard 
commander to create a shortcut key to activate the script.
Hope this helps.
