Hello, Lawrence,
I'm currently writing my thesis and suddenly I don't remember how to count the total number of words in my corpus with Antconc.
Thank you in advance
Sophie from sunny South-West France

Hi,

I suggest you watch the YouTube videos. 

This simple answer though is:
1) Load your corpus
2) Click on the word list tool
3) Click start

I hope that helps!

Laurence.

thanks for your patience. I find out the difference lies in thta Micro will count word like "it's" as one word, while, antconc will count it as two separate words. Thank you very much for your great tool. It helps a lot in many researches.

I think you've replied in the wrong thread.

Laurence.
