microsoft word ?

Question

Hey im im writing a summary on a story and was wondering is there a way were i can get it to count how many words i have wrote instead of me counting them ?

Answer 1

Go to Tools menu and click on - Word Count - and there you go.

Answer 2

Tools
Word Count
OR
Right click on an empty space on toolbar at the top of Microsoft Word and at the bottom there is Word Count, select it and it will come up as a little window that you can move and keep up whilst you write.

It not only tells you how many words there is it tells you how many pages, characters (with spaces), characters (without spaces), paragraphs and lines. But why you would need to know some of these I don't know. Although it would be useful when your asking a question because you can just copy it into word and see how many characters.

Lastly, it was a simple question so why am I waffling on like this.

Answer 3

Just click on Tools at the top of the page and a box drops down and there will be word count click on that and Bob's your uncle job done!

Answer 4

go to view>toolbars>word count
or
tools>word count

Answer 5

at the top click on ''tools'' then look down until you see ''word count'' then click that and voila!
