DOC

DOC file format is used by all versions of Microsoft Word. Other text processors, like OpenOffice.org Writer, can read and save documents in this format.

Note: In order to obtain counts for DOC files you need to have Microsoft Office Word installed on your computer.

In addition to usual text counting, AnyCount can optionally count text in headers, footers, footnotes, end notes, text boxes, shapes, embedded and linked documents, comments and hidden text in DOC files.

Header and footer is a small text identifier which runs through the top and bottom of the document.

Footnote is a text placed at the bottom of a page. Footnotes are used to explain or comment some part of the text indicated by a symbol or character.

End notes can be placed at the end of a document or section. As a rule such end notes can be found at the end of a book.

Text box is a special shape designed to locate a text in a document without the use of regular margins of the page.

To insert text box in MS Office Word, on the Insert menu click Text box command.

Shapes are elements that belong to "auto shapes" like WordArt, ClipArt elements. Shapes can be inserted by using AutoShapes feature in Microsoft Office.

Embedded object is a file which is inserted into destination file you have to count. Once embedded, the object becomes an integral part of the destination file. To insert embedded object into destination file in Microsoft Office, on the Insert menu click Object command.

Linked object is similar to embedded object, the only difference is that when using Object command Link to file check box is selected. All changes made in source file, will be displayed in destination file.

Comment is a note that explains some part of text or gives remarks. These are often used by editor and corrector staff.

Example. Sometimes document can be divided into several sections. As a rule each section has its own header and footer, but they can be similar. That is why there can be a situation when you have double counts due to those identical footers and headers. To avoid this situation select check box Ignore Identical Headers/Footers.

Note: As a rule AnyCount count results are similar to those provided by MS Word statistics feature, but sometimes there can be differences.

•

AnyCount optionally counts headers, footers, text boxes, shapes, embedded and linked objects, comments and notes, whereas MS Word up to version 2003 does not. MS Word 2007 counts text boxes, shapes, footnotes and end notes, which means that you may get different results by counting same file in MS Word 2003 and MS Word 2007.

•	AnyCount does not count text format elements (e. g. list bullets), because they represent the result of formatting only, and MS Word does.
