Hey there ....

Does anyone have a lead on any line counting software for under $30-$40?  I have TexTally, but it does not calculate the same way my Word 2002 calculates. 

  Thanx for your time.

I check my line counts with the software counter every day at the end of my shift and write it down.  At the end of this pay period, if I did a full pay period count on the same counter, my count doesn't add up to the same as when I add each day individually.  At first I thought it might have to do with blanks, but it is off by almost a whole shift's worth lines and I don't leave very many blanks.  I double checked the dates/times I entered to make sure I didn't miss a day.  I did not.

Has anyone else experience this?  I'm wondering if my company gets the count they pay me for this way.  I normally don't add them all up for the whole pay period, so I never noticed it before. 

Paste this into your macro editor, if your line is 55 characters (or whatever) instead of 65, just substitute 55 for 65.

Sub PostLineCount()
Dim N As Long
N = ActiveDocument.Characters.count
N = Round(N / 65)
AutoCorrect.Entries.Add Name:=qdlc", Value:=N
MsgBox N & " lines in this document"
End Sub

If you need to type in your line count into an invoice, it is now in your autocorrect, just type qdlc in your invoice.  The autotext entry qdlc will change to the new line count each time you run this macro in a new document.

I hope somebody finds this useful and it will save her a little bit of money.  If any of you have some specific need this macro does not address, I will check back here later and post the new macro solution for you.

Is there a program that you can down load to keep a running total of your lines all day.  I keep forgetting to go into word count after every report.  The company keeps track but I want to be sure it is right.  I have M. Word 2000 so I cannot leave it running like the newer versions. 

I have downloaded the Abacus SE program and cannot figure out how this program works.  If anyone is willing to walk me through the steps of this process I would appreciate it.  Information would be 9 cpl at 65 character line.

Thank you, JNGI

Thanks!  Emailed you.

has a free trial and only $38 to buy -- much less than other line counting programs!

I think it only works with Word though.

There was a site about 8 months or so ago that we would go to and we were able to download the Meditech program for free.  Once you have the meditech, you need your own clients numbers to access the modem, but the program itself was not a security issue.  I was just wondering if anyone knew of another site with the download.

I had something like that too awhile ago.  Because of this "thing," I had a hard time staying on any website, let alone trying to download Malwarebytes.  But I kept trying and finally, the next day, I was able to get it downloaded and ran.  It took the problem away and saved me a huge headache.  This "thing" was something like Spyware 2008, I just can't remember exactly.  I just know it said something about spyware and everytime I tried to go to a site, it would pop up and I couldn't do anything at all.  Somehow, though, I managed to bring up Malwarebytes and inbetween closing the spyware thing and its popping up again, I got Malwarebytes loaded.  I also have McAffe, AdAware and Spybot but they didn't stop this thing. 

One thing you need to do, if you don't already, is update your antispyware and adware protection.  Do it at least once a week because new bugs are coming out constantly.  I even run an update on McAffee even though I think it's supposed to do it automatically, just to be safe.

Right now I have some stupid "MywayWebSearch" or something like that and I cannot get rid of no matter what I do.  Besides the 3 listed above, I even ran SuperAntispyware and Spyware Blaster and still can't get rid of it! I think I have managed to quarantine it though, cuz it doesn't seem to be causing the havoc anymore.  These are all Free, by the way, and they do keep my computer pretty clean for the most part.  I run scans every couple of days, and do the other maintenance stuff. 

Good luck to you and give these things a try before you spend money.  If they don't work, nothing lost, if they do.... money saved!

Of all the expanders I've tried, it's been the easiest to learn and use.  Good graphic user interface, too.  Lots of features.  Read the help file and manual because there are a lot of neat features I didn't even know about until I read about them.

Then it's $99.95 to purchase it at the end of the free trial, but it pays for itself and is really easy to use.  That'll give you a month to save up the money for it.  My stats vary on it anywhere from 26% to 67% depending on my dictator.
