How to display count of Characters With Spaces for Word 2007 intostatusbar automaticaly?

[avkokin]

Hello.
Word 2007.
I need to show (constantly) of count of characters with spaces into
active document on the status bar. I know how to do it:
Application.StatusBar = ActiveDocument.ComputeStatistics
(wdStatisticCharactersWithSpaces)
But I not know how to display it constantly (for sample, it was doing
for Word 2003 without macro).
Please, give me tips for it.
Thank you very much.

There are several options for naming macros which will make them run
automatically (search help for "auto macros" and there are 4 or 5 of
them), but you may have problems with the way Word continually redraws
the status bar itself; it constantly updates the information there and
will overwrite your statistics. I think your value may appear and then
be instantly replaced by Word's update.

You could make a button that runs the macro and then click on it when
you need the info, but I still think Word will obliterate that as soon
as your document changes again.

Hmmm...
