How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks

How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks?

Hi jonathan,
I struggled with this one as well, as i'm finishing up a PhD thesis and word counts are incredibly important. Through trial and error i found out that words like 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' count as two words and an ampersand (&) doesn't count at all. That being said, i didn't like the fact that the word count always included footnotes and i was dismayed that i couldn't get an accurate count of words in the main body of my text. That all disappeared yesterday when, by chance, while i was copying a completed chapter and pasting it into my main document, i discovered that Pages can indeed give you an accurate word count excluding the footnotes! Here's all you need to do:
1. In pages 5.2, make sure that the Word Count function is first enabled by selecting View --> Show Word Count from the Pages Menu Bar. (If it's already enabled, it will read View --> Hide Word Count, so if that's what it says, then no need to do anything.)
2. Once enabled, check the Word count that's currently showing at the bottom of the page. That's the word count including your footnotes.
2. Now, place your cursor anywhere within the current document, then hit command+A (for Select All).
3. Viola! Your word count now shows the actual number of words within the body of the text only, excluding footnotes!
Hope that helps!

How can you detect all words and phrases in a text document using java?

Is there some java API which would help me extract all words, multi-word phrases, punctuations in an English text document? I would also like to get the order in which they appear with sentence detection. I've been searching for this in java NLP packages, but haven't found anything yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajith

I don't understand what you actually want, but if your on about having a file and splitting it up into sentences then i would look into either psudocode or parsing strings, theres not a java api as far as i know that does anything like you want, you would have to write it yourself or find a project someone else has made.

How do you get the time and weather to appear on your screen at all times?

Anyone know how to do this and can recommend the app to do this also. I tried installing an app that said it is installed but I can't find it on my phone either. Thx.

How do I get Chapter 1 and Appendix A labels on my LOM page?

My reference page looks like this:
Chapter <$chapnum>.    <$paratext>
               Revised:        <Emphasis><$markertext>
               Doc ID:         <Emphasis><$markertext>
The resulting body page looks like this:
Chapter 1.    Sample Chapter Title
               Revised:        November 2009
               Doc ID:         1234
Chapter A.    Sample Appendix Title
               Revised:        November 2009
               Doc IDr:         1235
Is there some way to get the appendix to display as Appendix A. Sample Appendix Title? Is there a way to have conditional statements on the reference page perhaps? Something like "If $chapnum is alpha, Appendix, else Chapter"? I've hunted but come up empty. There is an example in FrameMaker Complete Reference showing the "Chapter <$chapnum>" part, but it doesn't cover the Appendix case or conditional statements. Seems like what I'm trying to do is a common-enough thing that there'd be a solution out there.
Thanks for you help,
Dave

Thanks Arnis,
I like your first suggestion and I already do have different para tags on the titles. I just can't seem to figure out how to get the chapter and appendix tag into the LOM page correctly. Currently, the Chapter line is set to Header/Footer $1LOM.
I'm imagining I need two sets of lines in my reference page:
Chapter <$chapnum>.    <$paratext>
               Revised:        <Emphasis><$markertext>
               Doc ID:         <Emphasis><$markertext>
Appendix <$chapnum>.    <$paratext>
               Revised:        <Emphasis><$markertext>
               Doc ID:         <Emphasis><$markertext>
and then somehow set the para tag on the Chapter line to the ChapterTitle tag (and appendix to appendixtitle), but my attempts at this make a mess. What am I missing? How do I associate the ChapterTitle tag correctly? Is there something like ChapterTitleLOM needed?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi, shotdang-
You can use the responsive settings on a text field like you can any div. Check out the "Resize" lesson to get more information on how to do this. You can change the size of your text div, as well as set the font size to %.

How do you get password on old .mac account that has been changed? For some reason my iphone updates wants old mac acct password. Can I change that to new one I've had for years?

Years and years ago when I paid for an email address with mac.com I opened my itunes account and all. After getting tired of paying for an email account I made a new one, which I can't remember but I thought I changed it, but obviously the .mac stayed on. My itunes is a gmail account and I have no problems there. But today when I updated my iphone, after downloading, iphone asked me to enter password for the .mac account. Well I have no idea what that is now. I don't know how to even retrieve it. I can't find the settings to change it over to my gmail account either on my phone. I go to itunes and it has the gmail account listed, but when trying to activate some things that involved the update, it still asks for .mac account password. I'm beginning to think this is why I can't get authorization on some of my itune songs to play, they keep saying can't authorize when I am still within the 5 computer limit. I think I'm going to get a Droid...

its very specific.
If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
Iphoto i use never used imovie.
If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

How do you get the Find bar to not automatically close when a page is reloaded or when moving to another tab?

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature. Is there any way to get it to work like previous versions? I spend way too much time re-enabling the Find bar over and over.

You don't.
Clicking on the player window will hide the controllers but clicking the arrow keys will make it appear again.
Use QuickTime Player 7.6.6 instead.

How do you get a list of records to scroll automatically instead of page

I have a set of records displayed in a list control. The list

Does anyone know how this can be done.
