How to count the number of words in a document

To obtain statistics :

1. open your document ;
2. go to File ▸ Properties ;
3. click on the Statistics tab.

The number of words and other statistics (such as the number of pages, lines, characters, tables, images, and embedded OLE objects) appears in the dialog.

It is also possible to obtain less detailed statistics on a selection or on the whole document by using the menu Tools ▸ Word Count.

The number of words (document or selection) also appears from version 4 on in the status bar.
