I need some small tool to get document statistics able to count characters/words also in the embedded objects like text-boxes in Word. Standard Word tool does not count characters in the text-boxes and may show you "0" when you have several pages of charts etc.
The tool must be small. (Not Trados! I know it can do it. But who will install such a big package for just one task?!)

End If
End If
Next
MsgBox "The wordcount in all textboxes is" & charsCount, vbInformation, "textbox Word Count"
End Sub ▲ Collapse
