Some secondaries have a character count limit. Anyone know whether this includes spaces or not? Word give a count for both cases (with and without spaces)--just wondering if there is a common rule among all schools or if some schools differ in their character count guidelines (sorry guys--I know I'm probably being a little too technical but it means the difference between keeping or eliminating a few sentences). Thanks in advance!

it varies between schools. i have completed both kinds of secondaries, plus ones that go by lines, words, or pages. if they don't say "not including spaces" or some such thing, it probably means characters including spaces.
