"Monstrous Regiment" Paper Question

I am still having trouble finding the exact page numbers for the descriptions of the differences between the male and female troll, vampire, ect... I want to be able to find the exact place for each of the characters individual stories as well. Does anyone know the specific page numbers? I keep searching but I am still lacking a few of the characters. Thanks :)

Also, how do I search an online text for a specific number of times a word is written in the text? Is there a certain way to go about getting an exact count?

Courtney, I don't have my copy of the Pratchett novel in front of me right now, but as for your text-counting question: Unless the site designer has created a search engine with that capability, you'll probably have to create your own search string -- using, for example, the Edit/Find tool in Internet Explorer -- and then keeping count with pen and paper as you click through the occurrences. The John Knox text isn't very long, fortunately.
