Document Statistics
Most current word processors can calculate various statistics pertaining to a document. These usually include:
- Character count, word count, sentence count, line count, paragraph count, page count.
- Word, sentence and paragraph length.
- Editing time.
Errors are common; for instance, a dash surrounded by spaces — like either of these — may be counted as a word.
