Ingrid,

	For Excel output try option +d3 with FRQ command. For regular output of just number of tokens or words try option +d4 with FREQ. If those options do not work in your version of CLAN, then you will need to get the latest version of CLAN.

Is there a way to get the word count without a list of the actual words. There are 154 children in my sample and it generates a very long output file.
