Some old files which created before the Bug 30550 "Character count without spaces" was implemented, aren't counted. - Open attached file. This file was created in 2007 (See File > Properties) - Tools > Word Count - See "Characters excluding spaces": it's "0" Select All (Ctrl+A) > Tools > Word count, doesn't fix this problem. Workaround: you have to make some edit and save the file. Tested on official 3.3.3 build: LibreOffice 3.3.3 OOO330m19 (Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1
Created attachment 48433 [details] relatively old file, counted char without space as 0
