But you know I use a Mac too and at the bottom it tells me what page I'm on and the word count too, if I want. I'll have to show you.C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00727052976972722483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25267270.post-7792951768026180722007-04-24T06:26:00.000-07:002007-04-24T06:26:00.000-07:00I'm a big time wordy.

I also know that I can crank out 1500 words on my trusty AlphaSmart Neo while I sit in the dance class lobby during my girls' class on or the floor of my younger daughter's tumbling class (see, this is how I draft--in crazy snippets). The Neo doesn't show pages, but it does show word counts. 1500 words in a sitting or scene and I figure I've done good!Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25267270.post-69361860371052375932007-04-23T06:36:00.000-07:002007-04-23T06:36:00.000-07:00I'm mostly a word counter.

Although 2 summers ago, I did a page count goal. 50 pages per month. It was simple that way. Thinking I only had to write an average of 1 1/2 pages per day was very doable during the summer months . . . with all the kids home it's hard to do much more :)Heather Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11634399663804195312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25267270.post-87641644623094519162007-04-22T20:53:00.000-07:002007-04-22T20:53:00.000-07:00Josi, if you want to be a pager again, click on pa...Josi, if you want to be a pager again, click on page layout, wait until the page count adjusts, and then go back to normal view. You'll have an updated page count. I don't know why Mac Word is quirky that way. And I wish it would still show the word count after you pass 100,000 words.Stephanie Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450234632701799729noreply@blogger.com
