It seems like every time Microsoft releases a new version of Office, they move everything around! You get used to seeing one thing under one menu and then next version of Office moves that option to another menu! Grrrr. I’ve upgraded to Office 2010 and one of the most common features I use is the Character/Word Count.

• Mac Word Character Count
• Mac Microsoft Word Character Count Feature
• Microsoft Word Character Count Mac
• Word Character Count

Of course, I could not immediately find it and had to go flipping through all the ribbons before I finally saw it! By default, in Word 2010, it’s located on the Review tab under the Proofing section.

Clicking on that will give you not only the number of words, but also other stats like pages, characters with and without spaces, paragraphs and lines.

I still find this quite annoying since I use it so often, so I wanted a quicker way to access this same info. Luckily in Word 2010, there is an option to add the word count to the status bar at the bottom. Just right-click on the status bar and you’ll see an option for Word Count.

Jun 27, 2011 Keyboard Shortcut for Word Counts in Word 2007 Recent versions of Word dynamically count words at the bottom of the screen. But for a detailed analysis, show the number of pages, paragraphs, characters, and lines with the key combo CTRLSHIFTG.

Once you select that, you’ll see the word count at the bottom left of the status bar:

That’s pretty much it! If you want, you can also add Word Count to your quick access toolbar by right-clicking on the icon in the Review tab and choosing Add to Quick Access Toolbar.

Now it’ll also show up at the very top, but this is really no different than it being in the status bar, it’s just a personal preference. You have both options.

As an extra bonus, I’ll just throw in a few more features that I used a lot but took a minute to find in Office 2010. For example, where is the Find & Replace in Word 2010? On the home tab, at the very far right, click on Replace.

Where is spell check in Word 2010? Again, this is on the Review tab under Proofing.

And finally where is the developer tab for those of us who need it? For that, you need to click on File, Options and then click on Customize Ribbon. Under Main Tabs, you need to check the box next to Developer Tab.

How-To Geek Forums / Microsoft Office

hi guys, i was wondering. is it possible to always show the character counter in word 2007. in the task bar at the bottom there right next to the word counter cos its a effort to always have to click on the word count to see the character counter..?

The best I can suggest is to add the count to the 'quick access toolbar' and to put that below the ribbon. Then at least it is always handy and requires only 1 click. Other than that, there seems to be no easier method, especially since 'character count' can mean different things ( with or without spaces, text boxes included or not, etc.).

Character Count vs Word Count (in MS Word 2K7)

@snugglez64 further to whs and 'innovation/inspiration' from another source's jscher2000's 'perhaps it will provide inspiration'

Hello, All: Don't know how significant/useful my contribution may (still)be -- given the age of this thread & my only recently becoming a DIY-GEEK..

MS Word 2K7 has been a PitA, to be sure; pretty much having to re-learn everything{after spending way too long looking for 'it', &c}.

CHARACTER COUNT -- the 'quickest' way I've found to deal with this is by L-click>-ing on the WORD COUNT(which I have showing in the BOTTOM LEFT corner of the window/frame of the doc). When the dialogue box pops-up, it indicates the following 'STATISTICS': Page, Words, Characters(no spaces), Characters(with spaces), Paragraphs, Lines [& there's a box to check/uncheck for the INCLUSION of textboxes, footnotes & endnotes]. {Hey, at least there's a running WORD COUNT!}

If you don't find this useful, perhaps someone else will. Cheers! ~;)
