Re: MS word count



In a word, rather an acronym... COM. I personally would require users to submit in plain
text. That would cut down on several issues actually. Formatting, rich text, et cetera.

Anyway, if hellbent on it. COM is your only method. Not to mention the server must have
Microsoft Word installed. Virtual machines could probably let you skimp by.
