How do you count the number of words typed?

Answer 1

Yes, right click the blank area around the formatting box (the bar that lets you edit your word font) and some words- some with a tick beside them -and than click on "word count". Another box should appear with the word "Recount" on the right. Click this button and the amount of words you have written will appear in the area on the left of the box. Than if you click the arrow pointing down, right beside the total of words, it will tell you how many characters, pages, paragraps etc. you have done.

Answer 2

Go to the "Tools" menu. Then choose "Word Count".

Word displays counts for words, paragraphs, lines and characters. On newer versions of Word it can be found in the Review tab and also can be seen on the status bar at the bottom left of your screen.

Answer 3

No. WordPad is only a very basic word processing application and it does not have a lot of things that are found in standard word processors. So you would have to count the words manually or copy and paste them to another word processor that does have a word counting facility.

Answer 4

To count all the words in a document, in Word go to Tools > Word Count.

To count all the words in ONE paragraph of a document which contains more than one paragraph, first highlight the paragraph. Then, go to Tools > Word Count.

Answer 5

You go to tools and click on word count then click show tool bar and ever time you want to see how many words you typed so far just click recount

Answer 6

Highlight the section you want to know (do not do this if you want to know all the words) then go to tools then word count.

Answer 7
