counting the number of letters(characters)...

[crystal]

I am writting short report for my homework in class
The limitation of report is that there must be less than 2000 numbers of
letters(characters). So I have to count the number of letters in my report
whether there are more than 2000 letters in the report or not.
Can anybody tell me that?

Thank you

Assuming Word 2007: in the status bar, click on the "Words: zzz" section. It
will tell you how many characters are in your report so far. If you don't
see "Words: yyy" in your status bar, right click your status bar and click
on "Word Count".

In Word 2003, you can find "Word Count..." under the Tools menu.

How you do this depends on what exactly it is that you want to count. Do
you, for example, count spaces and punctuation etc, or merely the letters
and numbers? If the latter use replace with the wildcard option set to find
[A-Za-z0-9]
replace with
^&
The number of replacements is the character count.
