Daily Word Count Graph

The Daily Word Count Graph shows your total words added and deleted, and how they compare to your daily target (Goal).

Added = Words typed directly into any document in the AutoCrit program. AutoCrit tracks words typed directly into the program. Copied and pasted words from an external source are not tracked unless they are fewer than 70 words at a time.

Deleted = Words you have deleted. This includes words that have been deleted while editing.

Goal = Your preset daily target (see below).

Move your mouse over the graph to see more details.

You can set which elements you want to see on the graph by checking the boxes for each parameter (words added, deleted, and your word count goal). You can also set the start and end dates to see your progress over a preset period.
