Ahoy Trados Ninjas! A quick question regarding word count: any idea why the Trados word count shows significantly less characters than MS Word? (even if I choose without spaces in Word - btw, does Trados count with or without spaces?)
Cheers!
Dani

Hi Daniela,
This article could use an update I think, but on the whole it is still very relevant. Might help you answer this question:

Hi Dani,
Have you tried the InQuote app from the app store, this can report in lines?
But in a nutshell Studio counts without spaces in the reports. Word offers both. So the InQuote app does an approximation by taking the wordcount and adding the number of words to the number of characters and this gives you approx. the number of characters plus spaces... and even reduce it by the number of segments as well if you want to be closer to Word. So you could do this yourself easily enough in excel as you have the report showing words and characters in the same same line like this.
So this is just "number of characters"+"number of words"-"number of segments" and put into a column called "Line Count" in red. The equivalent text in Word was this:

Yes, I saved it after running the report. I can see the file in the reports folder in the Explorer, just not when I go there via InQuote...
Hi Daniela,
ok - I think I know what might be happening. There is only one reason to open a folder from InQuote and this is to select the location of the projects, not the reports. So for example, mine would be here:
C:\Users\pfilkin\Documents\Studio 2015\Projects
Once you set this then InQuote should populate with the projects you have in Studio like this:
I have noticed a small problem with populating the standard lines in this Studio 2015 version, but this may just be me. So take a look and if you have a problem too we can perhaps take a look and see if it's an easy fix. If not the good news is it seems likely that the app competition is going to yield a new app for easily getting quotes. When we build the new one we'll be sure to include a standard line option in the reports.
Regards

It worked! Haha, thanks Paul - I feel a little foolish now for trying to find the file in that projects folder. Anyway, I see what you mean by problem with populating standard lines - the results in the quote are a bit weird.
