AnyCount

Introduction

AnyCount is text count engine, which automatically calculates text volumes contained in a file (or a number of files). Counts can be produced in different volume units (words, characters with spaces, characters without spaces, lines, pages, custom units). AnyCount works with all most common file formats.

TO3000, Version 10.0 has built-in AnyCount to quicken and simplify job creation and expenses calculation for each job.

AnyCount 7.0 currently counts the following formats: BMP, CHM, CSV, DOC, DOCX, GIF, HLP, HTM, HTML, JPG, MIF, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDF, PNG, PPS, PPT, PPTX, PUB, RAR, RTF, SDC, SDD, SDW, SLP, SXC, SXI, SXW, TXT, VSD, WPD, XLS, XLSX, XML, ZIP.

In TO3000, Version 10.0 AnyCount is used to quickly calculate volumes of new jobs and quotes. AnyCount options can be found in New/Edit Draft Client Job, New Client Job (Edit Client Job) and New Quote (Edit Quote) windows.

Counting files

In TO3000, Version 10.0 AnyCount is used in the following way:

When creating a job or a quote, click <=AnyCount button to run AnyCount. It will automatically count required units in target files and enter the resulting number into the Volume field.

1. Select the volume units from the corresponding drop-down list.

Note: If the units selected where not specified as "Used by AnyCount" you will not be able to perform the count. This option is available on the AnyCount tab of the User Settings. It was implemented to distinguish volume units, that cannot be used as text volume units (e.g. "hours").

2. Click <=AnyCount button.

3. Select the file to be counted in the Open window and either double click it or click Open button:

4. AnyCount Engine will count the text in selected file and enter count results are to the Volume field of the New Client Job window.

5. Expanded count report is added on the AnyCount Notes tab which appears after AnyCount is used:

Creating a client job based on counted file

Click AnyCount button on the Client Job tab of Client (Without Projects Mode only) or Project (with Projects Mode only) window. Select volume to count in and click OK button. Select a file to count. Once the count process is completed, TO3000, Version 10.0 will create a new client job with the name of the counted file, and respective volumes and volume units.
