How do I count how many times the same word occurs or appears ?

[Guest]

Hello,
I am working on a forum where every post begins with the same string.
By counting how many times that string occurs, I would know how many posts
there are in a give forum page. The "word count" command does not helps, of
course. Does anyone know another method ?
I know there are HTML or Java scripts that would do that but we work with a
lot of people at different places for that web site, so we set up the texts
in Word, and then paste them in an editor to create the .html files.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Octoberon,

Try Find & Replace, replacing your word with itself - the replacement count will tell you how many instances of that word there are
in the document.

You can also use Find All (Edit | Find; click More and check the box for
"Highlight all items found"), which will tell you the number.

And note that the safest way to replace a word with itself is to replace
with ^& (the code for "Find What Text"). And of course you can always use
Undo if anything goes wrong.

i know how to find number of words, number of occurrences of one word: how
do i find out the number of times each word in a document appears?
