  1. Hi Ann and merry christmas for the first time from me ;)

    Out of your nice compilation I picked the word counter for me. The other add ons are available in some add ons I’ve already got or I wouldn’t save time by using addons to do what i must. Which of them do you use yourself?

    Nice weekend now!
