Hello colleagues, For some time now I have been considering purchasing a word/line count software, but am still not sure which one would be the best buy. I have heard of Practicount and Total Assistant and was wondering if anyone has had experience with these or similar software, for that matter.

Use Practicount; it is dead easy and has many useful settings (like for html for example you can check whether you want it to count alt tags, meta tags etc) Spiros Doikas www.translatum.gr/cv.htm | | | Brandis (X) Local time: 21:06 English to German + ... suggestion / practicount | Nov 25, 2003 |

I personally suggest practicount.
