Office 2008
I am ready to pull my hair out.
I have been writing a report and suddenly the line count in the Status Bar disappeared. In trying to find a way to bring it back, somehow i pushed or pulled something that turned words red and drew lines threw them. Trying to delete those words only made matters worse, The more i try to get rid of them, the bigger the problem gets.
Word Help is NO help. More of a hindrance. Can I get some AI help to:
1. Get the Status Bar line count back
2. Get rid of the @#$$$##@@#$ red words and crossed out red words. I don't want to have to rewrite this whole d_____ed report. Damn MS; Damn Office 2008.
Thank you, that went well.
Did I tell you that I hate Office 2008; that I hate MS; that I hate Bill Gates; that I hate Redmond?
Edit: Found the reason words turned red. The Track Changes icon on the Status Bar was on. Still haven't found how to get the Status Bar Line Count back.
Did I tell you I hate MS? Well, I still do. Probably someone on AI is going to stick up for them. Just don't tell me. I hate them.

I fix crappy word files all the time with Pages.

So don't use it.

Great advice! Now, why didn't I think of that?

The view preferences should have that option - Word menu > preferences > View > Window > Live Word count:

Unfortunately, that doesn't create a "line count" in the Status Bar. Word count, page count, but not line count.
line count was there until a few days ago and then just vanished. ??????
Thanks,
