Not even showing that pop up. There is no reason why did I downloaded this....
This looks perfect but i downloaded it and it doesn't seem to be working? i'd love an update or whatever as this is just what im looking for :(
Says I have 12,000 words in my doc when I've got over 44,000...not sure how it can be so wrong when the correct word count sits hiding in the tools taskbar...
