[Tutor] counting no of words

[Roger Merchberger]

Rumor has it that Bill Mill may have mentioned these words:
>[snip]
>Once you're connected to a word document, you'll have to figure out
>what the command to count the words in the document is, but that's
>just a matter of recording a macro in word where you count the words,
>then repeating it in python.

Another option would be to write the python program from within 
OpenOffice.org if it's available -- it has facilities of opening and 
accessing word documents as well.

>I'd help you with that, but I'm on linux.

Most things I do are on Linux as well; but the OpenOffice solution should 
work equally well on either platform.

HTH,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
