MPCount enhanced in MPTools

Emmaus has discontinued MPCount. Though popular for nearly a decade, it was definitely obsolete. (It was originally released shortly after Windows 98 came out.)
While highly accurate in counting, MPCount had user-interface problems:
1. Locating your files to reflect in your invoice was difficult, for it didn't know about the flexible path to My Documents (introduced in Windows 2000).
2. You couldn't see the filenames of the actual files you were selecting, and couldn't filter the files in a folder by Date Modified.
3. You couldn't delete a client once registered.
4. You couldn't alter the invoice number.
Furthermore, MPCount could only count MS Word documents (*.doc, *.rtf) and text document (*.txt). If you had WordPerfect 5.1 documents, MPCount didn't know what to do with them.
MPTools, a new release, replaces the obsolete MPCount. Besides correcting the four user-interface problems listed above, MPTools enhances the functionality. MPTools gives you the ability to include headers/footers in the count and to include formatting codes in the count. You can also see the results of the multiple counting methods for a given document. Furthermore, if you give MPTools permission to use Word's conversion filter, the file types you count can be any file type Word can open. If MS Word can open it, MPTools can count it. (It is not necessary for you to have MS Word, it is just an option.)
In addition, with MPTools you can:
1. Send HIPAA-compliant e-mail with a few clicks.
2. Unzip password protected zips to the folder you specify (and without entering the password).
3. Print multiple files by selecting them.

Microsoft ergonomic 4000 with enhanced curve. Love it!
The keys are very soft to touch, keys are easy to hit and the wrist pad is a very comfortable soft, leather-like material. It only has a USB plug-in but you can get an adapter. I paid $60.00 for it at OfficeMax. It was well worth it. I will never use another keyboard!
Question about the new MPTools...sm
Do both the MT and the Client have to have copies or can the client unzip/decrypt without actually owning a copy of MPTools? 
Thanks

New Software: MPTools -- Invoicing and HIPAA-compliant e-mail with just a few clicks
MPTools, a new release from Emmaus, is a set of six utilities designed to answer real needs by MTs and MTSOs. Among the utilities are these:
1. Create invoices for your clients and pay stubs for your MTs.
- Select client.
- Verify dates.
- Select files.
- Create invoice.
2. E-mail transcribed reports in HIPAA-compliant encrypted zip files with just a few clicks.
- Select client
- Click Suggest filename
- Select files (the actual transcription, not zip files you've made, for the program will zip, encrypt and password protect when it fashions the email)
- Click Send Email. (In the Sent History, each file you've sent is separately listed with abundant information about it: to whom sent, date and time, name of the email, name of the zip file, etc.)
3. Unzip / zip files, even password protected ones, automatically.
4. Print files anywhere on your network.
You'll find MPTools exceptionally easy to use and intuitive. To better explain things we've posted screen captures on the website, and make the program available for download and trial so you can see firsthand how using MPTools will make your workday shorter and easier.

MPcount question
Hi all...I am thinking about using MPcount to generate my invoices for one account I have, but I have been using it today and I keep getting different counts each time I run MPcount. I don't understand why. I tried counting the same group of documents 4 times and got different line counts each time, either plus 1 or minus 1 line. In other words, I would get 811 one time, then 813 the next time, then 812, then 811 again. What would cause that? I don't want to use it if it's not very accurate in case any questions come up. Thanks.
MPCount software
You might want to ask your IT department if this software will work with their program. So far, I haven't found one that works with my company's program, which is Dictaphone ExText; in fact, everything I've tried has caused problems and had to be uninstalled. If anyone knows of a program that won't interfere with ExText, I'd love to know about it.
MPCount is for free

Try MPCount. It's easy and free! nm

Line Count - MPCount
Hi all,
When I worked for Escribe, we used the line count system called MPCount. It was awesome. The other day I downloaded the program again, but cannot remember the exact steps. I work in Word, as I did then with Escribe; I know you create a folder (in the case with Escribe, you created a folder for the month and day you were working in; e.g. 122005. I have created a folder like this, but bringing up Documents and Settings from the drop down list I don't find the folder I created. Does anyone use MPCount, and can anyone help me with these details. A gentleman from the company called me, but I was really not able to follow what he was saying, when it came to creating a folder. My work is saved in My Documents. I see the date folders, but nothing comes up as far as that with MPCount..............HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!
I personally don't like MPCount and they way the invoices look.
Some others have said that MPCount is nice to use. I think it's free. nm
s
try the MPCount one that is free!! I use it for my MTSO and just love it (sm)
Here is the link!

MPCount is free I think, use that, save you a lot of trouble - sm
I have to submit invoices too-- but have Sylcount built in to my WP 5.1 DOS---and use that to submit the invoice every 2 weeks. I also have Abacus I use for my other job. If you are an IC it is the norm to submit an invoice. I have only had 1 IC position where I did not have to do that.....and I had to watch them like a hawk to make sure I got paid what I was due (were always shortchanging me---which I always caught since I would double check). So it is in your favor to bill for your work. However MP count will not figure in headers or footers, so if you get to count those BUY a line counting program. I love my Abacus, counts and will make invoices too.
I use MPCount, which is free and easy to use,,,can't get more reasonable than that!
boo
FYI MPCount no longer free of charge
MPCount is now MPTools. You get a free trial (4 or 5 uses, I think) before deciding to purchase or not. It offers a LOT more than the previous MPCount program. Here is the link: http://www.mpword.com/mptools.htm
Anyone know where I can get the old MPCount software that was a free download?
I know that it is now part of MPTools or something like that and you have to pay for it, but I just want the old version.
Client can use any zip-unzip program to unzip the MPTools archives.
Hi,
If your client can currently unzip the files you send, when you send him/her MPTools zips, your client can continue to use the same software as they are currently. They do not need MPTools to access the files.

Line counting software - Need a good program. Have used MPCount in the past, but now
cannot download the old one, as it has been replaced by some new version, which I don't like. Can anyone recommende a good line counting program. Thanks.
Invoices. Does anyone have a good invoice software program they use other than MPCount invoice?
I am looking for something professional and easy to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
