Best Answer

For Microsoft 2007, To find word count, go to the top of your screen, find a tab that says "Review". In the first big box on the left, one of the buttons says "Word Count." Click on it. A screen should come up titled "Word Count: Statistics". It lets you know how many pages you currently have, words, characters (with or without spaces), paragraphs, lines, non-Asian words, and Asian/Korean words you have in your document. This is particularly helpful if you need to have word count for your paper, and this is easier than having to cont all the words one-by-one. Instead, the program does it for you.

Go to the top, and click tools and about the 4th one down will say word count.

Another Answer

Generally, the software will count the characters between spaces as 'one word'; however, numbers, acronyms and irregular punctuation may interfere with an actual, true count of the number of words. The word count feature can give a plausible, close approximation of the number of words it has been asked to count.

1. First you go to the place where there is 'Tool'

2. Then press the word that has '(W) beside it.

(if you want to know the number of words of a paragraph, highlight the part you want and then do step one and two)

Open the document with Microsoft Word. Go to the File menu, then select Properties. In the Properties dialogue box select the Statistics tab. The word count, character count and other useful information are displayed.

(For typing purposes a "word" is considered to be five characters plus a space, i.e., six characters total. This measure is used when calculating a typist's speed in words per minute.)

Does the word word count as a word in word documents?

All words count as words in a word document; Even the word "word." There is even a feature on many computers that lets you count the number of words in an essay you have written. But the confusion here comes from the name: the actual name you are asking about is a Microsoft Word document (with a capital W). Microsoft is the company that created this type of document file, and while it may indeed contain words or pictures and is sometimes called "Word," it refers to the brand name, not to what is in the document. For example, a teacher might ask students to send their essays in Word. That might sound to a person who is not a user of Microsoft products like the teacher is asking for words. But actually, the request is that the essay be sent in a particular file type (a .doc file, also sometimes called a Word file).
