Word Processor - Document Statistics

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.

Famous quotes containing the words document and/or statistics:

    What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it, dull to the contempory who reads it, invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it!
    Ellen Terry (1848–1928)

    and Olaf, too

    preponderatingly because
    unless statistics lie he was
    more brave than me: more blond than you.
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
