Okay

what they are telling me is that I cannot get my own line counts, that if I want to know I have to ask them.  Then they made it sound like it would be a pain in their butts for me to ask on a daily basis.  I thought maybe have them e-mail me my counts.  I have to produce 6000 lines in 40 hours to maintain their insurance benefits.  I just want to know where I stand from day to day, etc.  I think this is a little weird.  Are there platforms where MTs cannot access their own line counts?

    • Word supposedly counts 10% higher than most "regular" line counting - programs. Some places don't allow it. NM
      • Word count: 824 lines. DocuCount count: 897 lines. - sm

    • I was wondering - siren
      • You aren't actually typing in ES, are you? sm - sm

                  • So do they let you get your own line count using Word or - something else? Do you create an invoice? nm
