did you find that you don't know any one of those words??

if the answer is yes, then maybe you have some gaps in your vocab..... and maybe you should grab that old book of vocab and start working a bit . ;-)

words: 36
Characters : 150
spaces : 35
paragraphs : 3
Lines : 7

and so on.

Other softs give you more detailed information about your document content.

Some things are intriguing:

0969 - bread

Which lays accuracy doubts on the article. Unless fig has other meaning than the fruit.
