Word counts the number of words in a document while you type. Word also counts pages, paragraphs, lines, and characters.

When you need to know how many words, pages, characters, paragraphs, or lines are in a document, check the status bar.


Partial word count

For a partial word count, select the words you want to count. The status bar shows the word count for that selection and for the entire document.

When you’re using Microsoft Office to type documents, it’s likely that you don’t need all of the features that Word has to offer.

Finding the word count of your entire document is simple. Usually, the word count appears on the lower-left area of the document as you type. If the word count is not visible, click Review on the toolbar, then click word count. After you click word count, the word count dialog box will appear.

Finding The Word Count And Character Count In Word

How to find the word count in Microsoft Word?

When you’re trying to hit a specific word count in a Word document, it’s essential that you’re able to keep an eye on your progress. 

Finding the word count in your Word document is usually pretty simple, as you can keep an eye on the status bar in the bottom left area of your Word document. Usually, this is a simple way to watch your word count climb as you complete your work. 

Word count in Microsoft word

You can use your cursor to click on the review tab in the toolbar of your Word document

In some versions of Word, you may not be able to see the word count of your document in the bottom left area of the document. In this case, you can use your cursor to click on the review tab in the toolbar of your Word document. This will bring up a pop-up dialogue box that tells you the number of words and the number of characters in your document. 

Usually, Word works the same on a PC as it does on a Mac, but you may have to get used to some slight difference when you switch operating systems (such as looking for the word count and the number of pages in a different place than you’re used to). 

Selected Text

Sometimes, you don’t need to know the word count of an entire document. Instead, you may only need to see the word count of a particular section of selected text. For example, this may be true if you’re only working through a small part of a document at a time and need to hit a specific word count per section (such as a 500-word introduction to a paper). 

Google Docs

Sometimes, it can be easier to work on a document in Google Docs instead of Microsoft Word. There are many similarities between the two programs, but some of the dropdown menu options are different. 

To find the total word count for your work in a Google doc, navigate to the tools option of the menu bar and select word count from the dropdown menu. When you click on the word count option, you’ll get a pop-up box that shows the total number of words in your document. 

You’ll also notice that Google docs offer a helpful option to view the word count of your document as you continue to work. Just like the bottom-left section of a Word document, checking the option to view your word count continuously as you work allows you to keep an eye on how long you have to go before you hit your desired document length. 

Final Word On Where Word is Count In Word

There’s no need to spend tons of time trying to navigate the tools menu to show word count in Microsoft Word. In most cases, the word count is displayed readily (no need to watch fancy tutorials, use apps, or learn keyboard shortcuts to figure out how to see the number of words in your document).

FAQ On Where Is Word Count In Word

Is the word count displayed automatically in a Word document?

In most cases, yes. You should be able to see the word count of your document in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. 

How can I find the word count if it isn’t displayed on the bottom left?

I know what you’re thinking: “What’s there to learn about the word count in Microsoft Word? The number is right there at the bottom of the screen!” And that is true. Unless you’ve changed your default settings, the count always appears in the left-hand side of the status bar below your document. But Word’s word count tool can do more than provide the total number of words.

This tutorial shows you (1) how to count words in specific sections and (2) how to open the Word Count dialog box to see additional statistics such as character counts with and without spaces, as well as how to exclude textboxes, footnotes, and endnotes from the count.

And don’t miss the bonus section featuring keyboard shortcuts for selecting text in Word and other Windows applications.

How to View the Word Count for Specific Sections

Note that the lines statistic in the Word Count dialog box represents the number of individual lines with letters or numbers in them, not the number of sentences. The number of lines in your document will be affected by your font size (i.e., the bigger the font, the more lines you will have.)

Uncheck “Include textboxes, footnotes and endnotes” if you want to exclude everything in those sections from the word count. The count will update immediately.

Как посчитать количество слов в Ворде

Способ 1: Строка состояния

Майкрософт Ворд считает количество слов во всем текстовом документе в фоновом режиме, по мере их ввода. Эта информация отображается в строке состояния, доступной к просмотру из любой вкладки программы, и имеет следующий вид: «Число слов: N», где N – текущее значение.

Информация о количестве слов в документе Microsoft Word

Если выделить фрагмент текста, надпись сменит свой вид на «Число слов: X из N», где X – количество слов в выделенной части, N – во всем документе.

Информация о количестве слов в фрагменте документа Microsoft Word

Нажатие на данную надпись открывает окно «Статистика», в котором указывается количество следующих элементов:

  • Страниц;
  • Слов;
  • Знаков (без пробелов);
  • Знаков (с пробелами);
  • Абзацев;
  • Строк.

Вызов окна Статистика для просмотра данных о количестве слов в документе Microsoft Word

Дополнительно можно определить, будет ли Word «Учитывать надписи и сноски». Если в текстовом файле, с которым вы работаете, есть такие элементы и их нужно или, наоборот, не нужно учитывать при подсчете общего количества слов/символов, установите или, наоборот, снимите галочку напротив этого пункта.

Читайте также: Как добавить / удалить сноски в Ворде

После ознакомления с информацией окно «Статистика» можно закрыть.

Важно! Если «Число слов» не отображается, то есть такой надписи в принципе нет в строке состояния, кликните по ней правой кнопкой мышки и отметьте галочкой соответствующий пункт в контекстном меню.

Добавление информации о количестве слов в документ

Информацию о числе слов в документе можно вывести на любую его страницу, в любое удобное место, например, для того чтобы она отображалась в печатной версии. Логичнее всего добавлять ее в начало или конец.

  1. Установите указатель курсора (каретку) в то место текстового файла, где хотите видеть информацию о числе слов в нем, и перейдите во вкладку «Вставка».
  2. Переход во вкладку Вставка программы Microsoft Word

  3. В группе инструментов «Текст» разверните меню кнопки «Экспресс-блоки» и выберите пункт «Поле…».

  5. В открывшемся окне в блоке «Поля» выберите «NumWords». Если есть такая необходимость, определите «Свойства поля», а именно его «Формат» и «Числовой формат». Сделав это, установите галочку напротив пункта «Сохранять формат при обновлении». Нажмите на кнопку «ОК» для подтверждения.
  6. Параметры поля для подсчета слов в программе Microsoft Word

    В выбранном вами месте файла появится информация о количестве слов в нем – небольшое поле с числом. Обратите внимание на то, что указанные данные могут отличаться от тех, что отображаются в строке состояния. В первую очередь это связано с тем, что программой это поле воспринимается как еще одно слово.

    Поле с информацией о количестве слов в документе Microsoft Word

    Причиной более крупных расхождений является то, что в фоновом режиме эти сведения не обновляются, то есть по мере ввода и/или редактирования текста они не будут изменяться. Для того чтобы актуализировать информацию, нажмите правой кнопкой мышки на этот блок и выберите пункт «Обновить поле». Также имеется возможность «Изменить поле» — это действие вызывает окно, через которое мы его добавляли.

    Возможность обновить и изменить поле с количеством слов в документе Microsoft Word

    Можно сделать и так, чтобы Word автоматически обновлял сведения в данном блоке перед печатью. Для этого через меню «Файл» программы перейдите в ее «Параметры», откройте вкладку «Отображение» и в блоке «Параметры печати» установите отметку напротив пункта «Обновлять поля перед печатью». Для подтверждения и закрытия окна нажмите «ОК».
