Use Abacus to count lines and more in any MS Word
document. Abacus will count gross lines, lines as a
number of characters per line, or lines of
highlighted text. It will then record the line counts
in a log file which Abacus can use to create an
invoice. The program offers many counting options,
including headers and footers; characters that are
bold, italicized, underlined, or shifted; footnotes
and endnotes; and textboxes. It will count lines in a
single document or in a group of documents, such as
(but not limited to) an entire directory.
Abacus can also count documents prepared by other
word processing programs, such as WordPerfect, as
long as the documents can be opened and read in MS
Word, and the user has MS Word (versions 97-2003)
installed on his/her computer.

This is a trial version of 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
Abacus for only $20 (single user license), and we
have a site license schedule available for large
groups who need multiple licenses.
