Basic field word count question

[Marian Petrides]

A quick and dirty way to do this would be to include the following in 
the script of the text entry field, assuming that the field in which 
you want the work count to appear is named "Word Count"

On mouseWithin
   put the number of words in me into NumWords
   put NumWords into line 1 of field "Word Count"
end mouseWithin

Hope this helps.
