Use the Abacus to count lines in any MS Word document.
The Abacus will count gross lines, lines as a number
of characters per line, or lines in a highlighted
portion of text. It will then record the line counts
in a log file which the Abacus can then use to create
an invoice. The program offers many counting options,
including characters that are bold, italicized,
underlined, or shifted; headers and footers; footnotes
and endnotes; and textboxes. It will also let you
count lines in a single document or in a group of
documents, such as (but not limited to) an entire
directory.

The Abacus is a Word add-in program which works from
inside Word. It is not a free standing program, but
rather one that starts when Word starts, works with
Word, and becomes a part of your Word environment,
like a macro or add-in dictionary.

This is a trial version of the Abacus which you may
use as long as you like. However it does contain a few
limitations, such as "nag" messages in your log file,
and registration reminder screens. You can purchase
the Abacus for only $20 (single user license), and we
have a site license schedule available for large
groups who need multiple licenses.
