Not everybody has Microsoft word installed on their system. I’m actually typing this post out from my server. It’s a quickie, I found some thing really cool and wanted to share with all my readers.
While working on the company server (Microsoft Windows 2003) I had to check the word count of an article I was glancing through. Don’t ask me why :).
If it was my laptop, I’d open Microsoft word, select highlight the content and press Alt + T + W . But now the problem was, Microsoft Office was not installed on the server I was working on.
I love situations like this, which otherwise I would not encounter in my day to day life, which helped me bump into a cool site.
If in case you ever face a similar situation, you use this fast and free online word counting tool :
You get the answer real quick, it’s a simple Javascript, but really a handy tool :). A real cool find which I’ll use more often now 🙂
Now it’s time for online character count tool 😉 .. may be I’ll write one 🙂
**Update**
This tool is very handy for Wordpad users as Wordpad doesn’t have inbuilt word count feature.
