    Hmmmm, can you get something that counts the words you've typed?

    In word Munchkim, go to the File menu, then properties then the Statistics tab, it gives you Pages, paragraphs, lines, words, characters and even spaces :D
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    There's a free online one you can paste your text into - I use it for comps that say 'no more than 100 words' etc. Saves starting up Word :)

    Right now I'm keeping it, I get really bad headaches if I'm in a room thats not well lit so right now we have bare bulbs in every room:o Hopefully this will let enough light through so we can keep it, get more of them and loose the 'student digs' look:rotfl:
    Just become FTBs & Aiming to be mortgage free by 2034 :wink:

    Welcome Competitions, before coming to the UK all I could think about was getting the keys to my accommodation :o but now I feel like you, I just want to know that there is a comping site wherever I go! :rotfl:

    I need to go out shopping but I am trying to get over my flu, I think going out might help me get some fresh air so I might try and drag myself out...

    Nicky your FIL sounds like a considerate and lovely person, it is a great feeling being surrounded with loving and caring people x
