To figure out how much a document conversion costs,  we need to know how many documents you have.  This method is for a windows folder structure.  If you have Worldox, click here.

There are two ways of doing this; option 1 is straightforward, especially when you have only a couple of main folders.  Option 2 is a little more technical but also more accurate.

Option 1: Right Click on a Folder

Step 1:  Right Click on the top-level folder and go to properties

Step 2: Make a note of how many files you have

Option 2: Use Dirtrace
