I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2003?

Question

Hi, I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2003 for a essay and my teacher wants me to have the total words at the bottom, she said have to highlight the words and something in the program will count the words for you, I'm not to sure on where to find the "word counter" thing. can you help me out? Thanks!

Answer 1

View->Toolbars->Word Count

Or Tools-> Word Count

Answer 2

Go to tools, wordcount. That will give you a lot of information on your document. Then just type it at the bottom of your document.

Answer 3

Under Tools, there's Word Counter.  It tells you all kinds of stats about your doc.  Then you can create a footer (under the view menu, use the help if you need to), and put the count at the bottom of your essay.

I realize you have to do this, but I wonder what possible reason she has for wanting the word count?!

Click where you want the number of words to appear.
