[X4U] Word count in Pages

[Samantha Cornell]

Believe it or not, I had already done that, and came up with no  
responses.  Of course, when I just now tried it again, the results  
popped up...obviously a user error problem!

Anyway, thanks so much for the assistance.  I am now happily typing  
away.

Thanks!

Samantha
