How to Count Characters in Your Open Office Documents
Similar to other word processors, the Open Office word processing program comes with its own "Word Count" tool. This tool can be extremely useful if you have to write a report or article that has to remain within a certain amount of words. If you are writing a piece for a website or different Internet post, such as a "Tweet," you may have to count the amount of characters that are in a particular Open Office document.
