Anyone use this to bill your clients?

Take a look at PractiCount
Will run on all versions of Windows and assist in invoicing as well.

You would have to try it with your particulars, but PractiCount is very flexible, lets you define multiple variables, is WAY better than Sylvan because you can drag & drop entire files, etc., etc. I've used several counting programs & this is by far my favorite. They have a demo, so you can try it out.

I am trying out the PractiCount before I purchase. For some reason, I cannot get the same line counts (Office 2003 and PractiCount). I use a 65 character count in Office and when I calculate in PractiCount it is about 48 characters. I have set my options at 65. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks!
