Answer Line: How to Diagnose a Faulty Broadband Connection

A Better Word Count

Microsoft Word can't tell you how many times a particular word appears in a document. But Norton Bell of Palo Alto, California, devised a workaround. Press <Ctrl>-H to open Find and Replace's Replace tab. In the "Find what' field, type the word you want to count. In the "Replace with' field, enter ^&. If you see the More button, click it. In the Search menu, select All. Check Find whole words only and make sure all other options are unchecked. Click Replace All to see the number of occurrences of that word in the document.
