Word Add-on

[ukjane]

Is there an Add-On that you can purchase for Word 2002 that allows you to do a Word Count that will include words in embedded graphics??

Thanks.

I highly doubt it.
Many graphics are jpg files, which are no longer seen as pictures with letters here and there, but are seen as one object. bmp files are the same.

Not going to happen with any amount of code, if ya ask me.

Sorry for the bad news.

I didn't think so but it was something my manager asked me to look into. I couldn't think how the software would take a jpg which is efefctively pixels and try and identify characters and convert these into words, whilst counting everything else.

Would take a lot of code and probably take 4 days to run eh??

I believe everything is possible, just not feasable.

While I'm a true believer that anything can be done in code (note the web in my signature, LOL), this cannot.

However, if it is SOOO important, that doesn't mean you couldn't put a caption on, or some text next to, each picture, with each word in the picture... or some kind of manual count next to each picture, formatted in a certain way (white text...) etc., and then code could count THAT as part of the words, I suppose...

Okay, so it won't take 4 days to run, but would likely take 4 years to figure out how to code. (Not really, but I don't think anybody'd be willing to do it cheap or free.)
