Notebook 3.0 and word count

yksin — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 20:00:20 +0000

I’m really excited to hear about the new version of NoteBook coming out. But the existing announcement & press release fail to answer one question that has been at the forefront of a lot of NoteBook-using writers’ minds:Does it have live word count? Esp. the ability to count the number of words on a given NoteBook page?I’ll be upgrading regardless, but if anyone has an answer to this question I’d dearly love to hear it.

If not, maybe someone could throw together an AppleScript that could do this? I just got NoteBook 3, so I have not had time to look into this.

I put one vote on that!
Word count is really needed for any kind of writers. Of course it would be even greater if the upcoming version can include a “sentence count” function!
Sometimes it comes the same importance as Word count, such as for those issue-based publishing projector.

For us non-English speakers: a character count would be even more useful.

Can’t agree more, ptram. :)
And also just one simple concern… dose the Circus Ponies team take suggestions here as their development reference?

The best thing to do, always, is to submit feedback requests (and bug reports) using our support form. That way they get into our the system we use to track the requests and the gauge demand for them.

Best,
