Hopefully, summer of 2007
| We're still working on his program. |
| |
| We use it ourselves, but there are too many
steps to get the document ready for the calculations. |
| |
| Would you like to have it for free? We'd
appreciate some help. You have to know basic MS Word. Contact us below. |
| |
| No promises that we can send it to you,
though. There's still a lot of work to do. |
| |
| ...but it's going to be a great program for
authors. |

If you're a screenwriter, play writer, or author, you know
that your important words have to stand out in the
mind of your reader. |
| |
This program counts the occurrences of every word in your document. It
allows for common words, of course, and you can enter those of your own. |
| |
- If you say "excruciating pain," and a
thousand words later,
"the suspense was excruciating," the program will tell you
how many times you used "excruciating", "pain,"
and "suspense." Pain and suspense are probably all right, but not excruciating, not
within a thousand words. Change one of them to "unbearable."
|
| |
- If you have ten occurrences of the word "farther," and one of "further,"
well, "further" is probably wrong, but spell-check won't tell you
that. Search your novel for
the word "further" and see if that's the word you really want to use.
|
| |
-
The program will not tell you why something is wrong.
It won't do a grammar or spell check. It won't tell you why "further" is
wrong, what page it's on, or how many words are in-between (although
we're considering doing that). It only tells you how many times you used a
particular word.
|
| |
The program reads a Word document and sends
the results to Excel. No other formats are supported yet. |
