How can I do Count the Words in a cell with Numbers?

I'm producing a documentary, with a long list of captions. I was hoping using numbers to organize the captions in sequence. them take the word count and do a simple calculation to work out the numbers of frames required per caption, based on a certian numbers of words per minute.
I can handle calculations, but can't figure out how/if numbers can count the whole words in a cell and pass that on to a formula.
I count them manually, but the nature of the script means the captions are being constantly updated.
Any help appreciated!

Clever. The only additional suggestion is to use the function Trim() just in case there are extra spaces between the words.
=LEN(TRIM(B))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B," ",""))+1

Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

I am looking to sync without having to worry about security issues, keeping my files and passwords locally on my machines, and not an external server such as a cloud drive.
Do you know if Outlook syncs also over an external server?

Well, we can discuss about what limit a word : here space, but there is point, double-point, and so on... And about what is a word : do the punctuation is a word ?
For example :
"It's a word !"=>how many words are in this sentence ?

The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

How can I disable "return key moves to next cell" in Numbers 3?

I want to create a new line inside one cell. I'm using Number 3.5.2 on Yosemite.
In Numbers 2 there was an option whether I wanted the "return key [to move] to next cell", which I was able to disable.
Does this feature exist in Numbers 3? I haven't found it. If not, does anyone know a workaround? I could not find this question on the forums (for the current version of Numbers).

Hi Keith,
That feature has gone in Numbers 3.
To insert a new line in a cell in Numbers 3, type option enter.
Regards,
Ian.

How can I permanently add the word "Safari" to the Safari title bar?

Is this possible? I just want to have that word on the title regardless of which web page I go to. I'm using the latest version on Win. 7

Sorry but no. The title bar cannot be modified.
You can right or control click the Title bar to revisit pages.

How can I re-order the pages in my document with having to cut and paste everything?

Hello, I have a larger sized document and I need to reorder the sections of my document. However there are many images so cut-paste seems to screw up my formatting since pages like to move text around automatically but not images (like if I hit backspace until the text goes back to the previous page, the images will stay on the same page without moving back).
On the previous version of pages (pages' 09 I believe) I could simply click and drag the page thumbnails around. However I cannot seem to be able to do this in Pages'13... Am I missing something here?
Thanks!

Hi dd,
Pages '09 offered two types of documents.
Word processing documents included a text layer, and consisted of sections made up of multiple pages. If no section breaks were inserted, a fifty page document could consist of a single section. Text could be placed directly into the text layer, and Objects could be placed on the page as Floating Objects, independent of the text, and able to make text flow around themselves, or could be placed as Inline Objects, inserted into the line of text running from beginning to end of the document, and moving with the text as it was edited.
In a Page Layout document, each page was a single section. There was no text layer, so only objects could be placed on the page. Any text had to be contained in a Text box or in a Shape. Unless grouped, each object was independent of the others.
Changing your images from Floating to Inline objects may be the key to your document rearranging issues. They can be changed back to Floating after being moved to theor new locations.
Regards,
Barry

How can I get back the two button smooth scroll with Logitec optical marble mouse since Adobe Acrobat or FireFox updates on 10/26/2010 made it quit?

Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
Thank you

I am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!
