Word Count question - 06/02/08 01:03 PM
I have a new computer (didn't come with word software)...so I'm using a trail version of Microsoft Word 2007. We have Vista but I cannot for the life of me find where the word count is. Anyone out there able to help?
Thanks

Did you mean 'trial' verion?
If so, did you look under Tools?

I found it finally...I have a bar but nothing that specifically says 'tools'. I poked around so much that I finally found the little sucker.
Chatty...I just love you picture...you remind me of my sister, Judy (God rest her soul). Your last photo reminded me of her as well.
Thanks all for coming to my rescue...again.

Hi Dotsie,
I like it fine...taking some time getting used to Vista, however. I'm still feeling my way around it. It has some advantages and some disadvantages. I'm happy that this computer has enough memory for me to do what I need it to do...runs much faster. Thanks for asking. How are you doing these days?

While it's exciting to get a new computer, it does take time to get use to them. It will be worth it in the long run. In a couple weeks you'll be a wiz at it.
Thanks for asking. I'm doing well. I love this time of year when I can be outside more, walking, working in the garden, and just sitting on the patio. I'm gearing up to go out there with some work. I've printed a bunch of stuff from the sites that needs rewriting and updates so I thought I'd do it outback. Love it!
Ross and the kids are in good places right now so that's refreshing. Our youngest graduates in a couple weeks so we'll all be going to that, plus two of my sisters are going, so we're psyched. We're in the middle of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's which is like nothing we've ever experienced, but by the grace of God and great people, we're taking it a day at a time and managing to carry on.
Thanks for asking. I appreciate it.

I've had a computer virus for the last two days. Actually, three. I wanted to take a gun and shoot myself. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU....If you think Internet Explorer will keep you safe...GUESS AGAIN.
Get Foxfire as soon as you can...upgrade you anti-security software and feel good about it.
I have almost cracked under the pressure. WHEN I CAN'T WORK....that's when I die.

Anytime, dear one. Glad to hear you're all in a good place. I hope the weather's not too hot at the moment and you can enjoy the patio for a long time. I'll keep your friend in my prayers...alzheimer's is such a sad disease.
Talk to you soon.

Gims...you're such a big help...thanks for your concern and the information. The word 2007 is just a free trial..not sure if I'll keep it or go to something else. 2007 does have a lot of options...it just a matter of going to help and asking the right questions.
Thanks again sweetie!!
