Cant find word count

When I'm in a page and I click the WordCount button, or use Shift+Ctrl+W, or select WordCount under Tools, I don't get a dialog box showing the count, as demonstrated in the Help section of Page Four.

Same applies when doing a Folder word count and right clicking.

Very unusual, as this particular feature should be bullet proof. The small dialog is supposed to appear towards the top right of the screen, and should always be on top of all the PageFour windows.

Are you running PageFour maximized? If you are, it might be worth running it with a smaller window size so that you can see the top right section of the screen behind PageFour. Also, are you sure the word count dialog is not appearing slightly off screen? This shouldn't happen, but unusual screen settings may have disrupted the normal behavior of the dialog.

Hi Darren,

I've tried resizing PageFour as well as trying various screen resolutions. I've also tried it with just the PC screen and with an additional monitor.
No word count dialog.

All the other buttons and functions work normally.

Well, I shut down and unplugged the computer, swore at it, took the garbage out, came back and booted up, and there it was, the Word Count dialog box appeared.

Let's not even try and figure out why.

Great program, by the way.

Very strange, Lewis.
