when i pressed ctrl+shift+G and display word count window
my document for example have 1000 characters(with space) but i want to have 1250 characters(with space)


tips: i type 250 character and then change color of added character to white to hide
please give me help about increasing without typing into document but also change calculating mechanism in visual basic
for example without adding characters , microsof word (any versions) count characters more than real (ie 20% increasing)
thanks for your solutions

my mind is word count but no characters

Hi akbareshghi,

Ctrl-Shift-G shows both the character count for printable characters and that plus spaces. You cannot get Word to report what isn't there - even with a macro. If you want to cheat, you won't get any help from me.
