Re: Word counter
I'm not sure why it should go grey and unresponsive unless you are trying to
'drop' it onto another toolbar icon. You have to drop it between other
toolbar icons, for example say the toolbar menu has File followed by Edit
you need to drop the Word counter Icon between the two - File|Edit (drop
word counter where the | is in my example) thus you would have File Word
Count Edit, if you see what I mean.
As you are using Microsoft Outlook Express as your newsreader, click on the
Newsgroup button on the toolbar and look down the list of available
newsgroups for the following:
microsoft.public.word.newuser
There are more, of course, but this will probably be he best to go for to
start with.
Incidentally what version of Word are you using? I'm using Office 2007 and
the toolbar layout has changed considerably compared to previous version and
Word Count is already a toolbar option with Word 2007.
If I have copy of the version you are using I can always install it and see
if I experience the same problem.
