Solves a mystery

Thanks, this solves the mystery of why my Word count on a file ended up higher than the client's Trados count when normally the opposite is true.

AnyCount vs. Workbench

Feb 6, 2007

I would like to know why TO3000's AnyCount and Trados' Workbench results differ so much sometimes. Sometimes the word-count is much higher with AnyCount, sometimes the Analysis result is higher.
