I just stumbled across an easy way. Just cut and paste what you want into an icq message, that does a character count for you! You can then cancel your message and voila! You have your character count.
Textpad will give you character count, word count and line count. You can get a free trial download at www.textpad.com and the purchase price is only $27 (US). A great bargain in my books.
