The words ought to be counted according to the applied CAT tool, this is the best way to determine the actual effort. If you prefer a more general and simple way, I recommend to copy the text via clipboard into Word and count it there. This will result in more or less than the "effective word count", but one cannot have all at once.. | | | Steffen Pollex (X) Local time: 14:06 English to German + ... Bravo, Harry :-) | Jul 5, 2003 |
