khl-TextStat   Version 2.0
==========================

Content of the ZIP-file "Textstat.zip":
In this file you should find three files.
Textstat.mco	the macro
Textstat.dbf	a data-file containing variables
Textstat.txt	this info-text

Purpose:
khl-TextStat is a macro to get an information about the lenght of Word-files. You can as well learn from it how long the Word-text will be when printed directly from the Psion as the lenght the text will have after a convertion to PC-based textprogramms. But remember: The khl-TextStat only estimates the lenght. There might be a small difference to the actual lenght. But the difference should not be too big.

How to install an run the macro:
To run the macro, "Macsys" by Tom Dolbilin is required. Copy the file "textstat.mco" to the directory all the other translated macros (*.mco) are stored in. Then install it to the main macro screen und assign a hotkey to it.

Then copy the file "textstat.dbf" to the directory "\OPD". Open "textstat.dbf" with the Data-App and change the values of the fields as discribed: 
The first entry is called "Zeichen pro Zeile:". Please enter the average number of characters fitting into one line. 
The second entry is "Worte pro Zeile:". This is the average number of words fitting into one line. For both you will have to do some statistical work before. But it is worth it: The more accurate your entries are, the closer khl-Textstat will come to a realistic result. In both cases you might fill in floating-point-variables (e.g. 33,851). 
The third entry is "Leerzeilen nach Absatz:" Here you can enter dead lines your textlayout puts between two paragraphes.
The entry "Abzuziehende Leerzeilen:" is the exact opposite: If you want to eliminate lines - for example headlines - that appear in every article. Both catagories can be filled with "0" but must not (!) be let empty. 
Very importand is also the last line "Hotkey Speichern unter:" Here you have to fill in the Word-Hotkey for the "Save as"-option. It is predefined for the german Psion-Version.

When running khl-TextStat it might last a while till a dialog informs you about the result (the number of characters, words and paragraphes of the text and the estimated lenght). The longer the text is, the longer it will last.

Disclaimer:
===========
Although I have worked with the macro without having any problems, I can't guarantee that there are no hidden bugs that might result from the usage of German-Version Psion S3a-commands or Hotkeys. So I'm not responsible for any loss of data that may occur as a result of using khl-TextStat. Please make sure that you back up your data before using them.

Feedback:
Please report any bugs, hints, advices or wishes to me via Compuserve or discuss them in the Psion-Forum. Have much fun with "khl-TextStat".
