so can I do that in office 2010? (I was thinking about upgrading anyway)

I actually have no problem writing the forumla like what you describle...only problem with manual formula is that... everytime I change the font/size, column width, i will have to re-write the formula again.. (plus the formula will be based on word counts, but not every word/numbers/space take up the same width)
