Word Count Toolbar

If you need to know how many words are in your document, Microsoft Word can count them for you. Word can also tell you how many pages, paragraphs, and lines are in your document, as well as the number of characters, either including or not including spaces. To view the Word Count toolbar, click on the View menu, point at Toolbars, and select Word Count. It appears as a floating toolbar, which you can anchor if you want. As you add or delete content, click Recount to update the count.

Tip: If you want to count part of a document rather than the whole, Word can count the footnotes or endnotes that refer to the selected text. You can also select multiple sections of text to count at a time, and the sections do not have to be next to each other.
