[stylist] Word Count?

[David Andrews]

I am not sure what version of Word you have -- but it would have to be 
2007 or 2010 if you have the ribbon.  The command Bill gave you Insert-3 
should be done from the keypad, just so we are clear.  It reads the 
status line, which is the bottom line in your document -- which you can 
also do with Zoomtext.

Here is another way, it works in 2010, probably also in 2007.  Hit alt-r 
and you are on the "review tab."  Down arrow once and it says "Groupings 
sub-menu."  Right arrow once, then down arrow until it says or shows 
word count button.

That brings up a dialog box with the data in it and an ok button for 
when you are done.
