Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some

Microsoft Office Word 2007 counts the number of words in a document
while you type. Office Word 2007 can also count the following:

Pages
Paragraphs
Lines
Characters, either including or excluding the spaces

What do you want to do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Count the words as you type
Count the words in a selection or selections
Include text in footnotes, endnotes, and text boxes in the word count
Count the words in a text box
Count the number of pages, characters, paragraphs, and lines

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Count the words as you type
When you type in a document, Office Word 2007 automatically counts the
number of pages and words in your document and displays them on the
status bar at the bottom of the workspace.

Count the words in a selection or selections
You can count the number of words in a selection or selections, rather
than all of the words in a document. The selections don't need to be
next to each other for you to count them.

Select the text that you want to count.
The status bar displays the number of words in the selection. For
example, 100/1440 means that the section accounts for 100 words of the
total number of words in the document, 1,440.

Tip To select sections of text that aren't next to each other,
select the first section, and then hold down CTRL and select
additional sections.

Include text in footnotes, endnotes, and text boxes in the word count
On the Review tab, in the Proofing group, click Word Count.


In the Word Count dialog box, select the Include textboxes, footnotes
and endnotes check box.
Top of Page

Count the words in a text box
Select the text in the text box.
The status bar displays the number of words in the text box. For
example, 100/1440 means that the text box contains 100 words of the
total number of words in the document, 1,440.

To count the words in multiple text boxes, press and hold CTRL while
you select the text in each text box that you want to count. The word
count automatically adds the total number of selected words in the
text boxes.

Count the number of pages, characters, paragraphs, and lines
The Word Count dialog box displays the number of pages, paragraphs,
and lines in your document, as well as the number of characters,
either including or excluding spaces.

On the Review tab, in the Proofing group, click Word Count.

Why do this when you can display the word count on the status bar just by
right-clicking on the status bar and selecting it?
