Article ID: 249198
Article Last Modified on 11/6/2002
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Word 2000 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q249198
SYMPTOMS
When you use the Word Count feature (on the Tools menu, click Word Count) in a Microsoft Word document, the Characters (with spaces) count may appear to be incorrect.
This problem occurs when you use any of the following in the document:
- Tab stops
- Line breaks
- Section breaks
CAUSE
This functionality is by design. However, Microsoft Word Help incorrectly states the following about Word Count:
Displays the number of characters in the active document, including spaces. Character count doesn't include the following characters: tabs, line breaks, paragraph marks, page breaks, column breaks, section breaks, and hidden text.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Word 2002 Help correctly states the following about Word Count:
Displays the number of characters in the active document, including spaces and tabs. Character count doesn't include the following characters: line breaks, paragraph marks, page breaks, column breaks, section breaks, and hidden text.
