Typing out essays and theses on a computer is obligatory in colleges and universities nowadays. Most academic documents are restricted in length, be it 1,000 or 80,000 words. It’s important to stay within the limit, as exceeding the limit can incur a penalty. Similarly, writing too few words can cost you marks [source: City University]. Most people type out their documents in Microsoft Word. However not everyone is familiar with Word’s many little tricks. Here’s how to count the number of words in your document using Microsoft Word.

In order to count words, the computer has to know what words you want to count. You tell it this information by highlighting the text in question. If this is the entire document, press the Ctrl key and press the A key at the same time. This will highlight the whole text. You can remove your fingers and the text will remain highlighted.

Here’s how to count words in Microsoft Word 2003:

Select Tools from the tool bar on the top of the page.
Select Word Count from the dropdown menu that appears. A box will appear, giving you information about the text that you highlighted, including the number of words it contains.
Include the words in the footnotes and endnotes if those words are counted in the total number of words allowed in your paper. Simply click on Include footnotes and endnotes, in the lower left corner of the box, and these words will be included in the total number of words [source: Microsoft].

Here’s how to count words in Microsoft Word 2007:

Highlight the text whose words you would like to count. The number of words you’ve highlighted will be displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the screen, as a fraction of the total number of words in the document.
Include footnotes in the word count by selecting Review on the toolbar. Then select Proofing, and then Word Count. Select Include Textboxes, Footnotes and Endnotes. The total number of words counted will be displayed in the status bar [source: Microsoft].

Looking at the search engine searches people have done before coming to this website, I’ve realised I need to publish some notes on how to count the words in your Word document. This information covers Word 2003, Word 2007 and Word 2010, although most of the screenshots are from Word 2007.

How do I count the number of words in my Word 2007 document?

Word 2007 and 2010 handily display your word count at the bottom of the screen. Well, it should be there. Let’s see …

But what if it’s not there? If you want to display your word count at the bottom of your document, right click with your mouse on the lower menu bar – that’s the blue bit at the bottom of the window, indicated with an arrow on this screen shot:

Do take a moment to marvel at all the different things you can do on this menu bar – we will come back to them another time! Now, when you’ve clicked on Word Count, you should see your word count at the bottom of the window:

OK, so that’s one way, but what if you want more information, such as the number of characters (maybe you’re writing some text that has to keep to a certain character limit)? Never fear, there are often two ways to do things in Word, and this is no exception.

We’re going to stop looking at the bottom of the screen and move up to those tabs at the top. Click on the Review tab and you will see the Word Count option to the left:

Click on Word Count and you will get a little dialogue box telling you all sorts of information …

Now, what if you want to count just the words in a particular section of your document (you might be trying to keep to a word limit per chapter or be writing lots of short articles you want to check)? Simply highlight the section of text you want to count, then either look at the bottom of the screen, where it will tell you that you have highlighted x out of a total of y words, or click on Word Count on the Review tab and your dialogue box will tell you just about the words you’ve highlighted:

How do I count the number of words in a Word 2010 document?

Word 2010 works in exactly the same as Word 2007 as far as the lower menu bar goes, so just follow the instructions above to show the word count at the bottom of your document.

When it comes to the Review tab and Word Count option, it’s all pretty much in the same place, but looks a little bit different:

How do I check the number of words in a Word 2003 document?

In Word 2003, you can access Word Count from the Tools drop down menu.

Please note, these hints work with versions of Microsoft Word currently in use – Word 2003, Word 2007 and Word 2010, all for PC. Mac compatible versions of Word should have similar options. Always save a copy of your document before manipulating it. I bear no responsibility for any pickles you might get yourself into! This is part of my series on how to avoid time-consuming “short cuts” and use Word in the right way to maximise your time and improve the look of your documents. Find all the short cuts here …

Вопросы и ответы

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Способ 2: Средства рецензирования

Еще один вариант просмотра информации о количестве слов в текстовом файле Word заключается в использовании средств рецензирования, посредством которых тоже можно вызвать рассмотренное выше окно «Статистика».

Перейдите во вкладку «Рецензирование».

Нажмите на кнопку «Статистика», расположенную в группе инструментов «Правописание».

Ознакомьтесь с информацией о количество слов (и не только их) в документе.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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».
