Re: Having challenge with Character count in Microsoft office

Alt+R brings up the Review Tab, followed by W triggers the Word Count function.

Word count is also present in the status bar at the bottom left side of the MS-Word window by default (or at least it was in Word 2010 and 2013).  I have no idea of how to get focus on that, though.

In Word 2016, one method that works for me is hit alt+q which brings up the help edit box, type character count and hit enter.
You will get page count, page number, word count, character count without spaces and character count with spaces, ...

Apparently, somewhere out there, there is also a classic menu that you can install so the menu looks like the older, more user friendly, menu system. That was referred to with a Google search.

HTH,
Richard

Is it available from the proofing menu? Seems as if I recall, but it's been a while. Doing book reviews, and other publications, often requires an accurate word count, but Medicaid is seldom that exacting. Bureaucratic writing and literary style are usually mutually exclusive.

Hi Adekoya ,

I tried it just for fun, although I seldom need to know the character count. Well, I'm running JAWS 18 and Windows 7. It didn't work for me either. In fact, with Windows 7, and Word 2016, I got something screwy when I tried the first suggestion of control plus shift plus l.
Maybe you are all talking about Windows 10, which I hope I never have to learn. (LOL)

I only put my 2 cents in to validate your dilemma.

Dear Tech enthusiast,
I am currently having challenge to count characters in Microsoft office
2016. before in office 2007, I use control+shift+G but in word 2016, if I
press it, the jaws goes silent and most time, it hang. I use window 8.1 but
I try it as well on my window 7 laptop, same happen. Using f6 to move to the

Any help. Is it jaws that's hanging? or any other key stroke to do this.

The only way I know of is that when you got an email from
them, go to Message Rules and send them to Trash, but you'll
still have to delete that. I don't think you can just make
it disappear on entry.

hello,
Just joined this group and first post so please be gentle ... :D

I too have this issue with latest update of Jaws 18, Windows 10 and Excel 2016.
Some spreadsheets work fine, others do not - does not seem to relate to the size of the sheet or its complexity, in fact I can't find any correlation between the sheet and this abnormal behaviour.

The problem often starts with very, very slow (>10 seconds) response to any keystrokes in Excel to, for example, use the arrows to move to the next cell.
It can then get progressively worse with no apparent speech at all - leaving me in total ignorance of what is going on; sometimes I am able to ctrl-alt-del to the task manager and use this to close the Excel process but on a couple of occasions Jaws itself seems to have stopped and I have to restart.
)
I note the comment from one reply about non-local files; mine are all local but I do have them in my OneDrive folder and the office upload centre seems also to be doing some magic with them and wonder if this has anything to do with it.

I also note that no solution has yet been posted; I really do need a fix for this as I use Excel a great deal for my personal information and this is really starting to have a detrimental effect.

Open Library: Will Protected DAISY Files From There Work With PAC Mate Omni?

Kane Brolin
 

Hello. This message is going out to a couple of FS lists and to one
senior technologist, since I don't know who will be able to reach out
effectively first.

Just yesterday, someone on the Bookshare General Discussion List
turned me onto a tremendous-looking source for digitized books called
Open Library. I quickly found that two titles I've been looking for
are available for immediate, free download on Open Library (in DAISY
format) which were not available in any e-book form from NLS BARD,
Learning Ally, Bookshare, or even commercial sites such as the Kindle
Store. I am blown away by the wealth of what is out there on this
source.

Here's the problem: These are protected DAISY archives, requiring what
it calls a UAK (User Access Key) from Library of Congress. Now, it
just so happens that I was able successfully to load these titles onto
an old Book Sense XT that I've got which does happen to contain an
appropriate UAK needed for decrypting the files. But my Book Sense is
most likely on its last legs, being eight years old. The files will
not play on my NLS BARD Talking Book player, because it says I don't
have access permissions, even though it will do just fine with
unlocking archives downloaded from the NLS BARD site itself.

At any rate, I'd really like to be able to read these in Braille using
my PAC Mate Omni BX440. But I can't seem to find a valid UAK to load
onto the PAC Mate that will make this kind of DAISY archive openable.

I thought that perhaps loading a UAK from Learning Ally would do--that
is, the same key I would need to play DAISY-formatted Learning Ally
titles on that same PAC Mate. But when I tried to install the UAK,
the Learning Ally site came back with the error message that this key
is no longer valid.

Any solution for this? Or am I essentially out of luck insofar as
prepping any device other than my Book Sense XT for Open Library DAISY
titles?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Kane Brolin
