Hello everyone, I have a quick question about Word: how can I easily see how many characters my text contains in a document? I have some small assignments for a few magazines and I need to provide an exact character count per paper!

Look at the very bottom of the file in the "words" tab. By right-clicking on this tab, you can access the complete statistics: the number of words the number of characters (excluding spaces) the number of characters (including spaces) number of paragraphs, etc. In Word 2007, you need to go to Tools > Word Count In Word 2016, you need to go to Review > Word Count

Look at the very bottom of the file in the "words" tab. By right-clicking on this tab, you can access the complete statistics:

the number of words
the number of characters (excluding spaces)
the number of characters (including spaces)
number of paragraphs, etc.

In Word 2007, you need to go to Tools > Word Count
In Word 2016, you need to go to Review > Word Count

Could you please specify which version of Word your procedure corresponds to?
Because the question was asked in 2003, before the release of Microsoft Office 2007.
Besides, Jacques Leblanc has probably solved his problem by now, after 9 and a half years!

For Word 2007, you need to go to the "References" tab, then in the Checking box select the item "Statistics," which provides details on a selected text, including the number of characters with and without spaces.

the "Review" tab not "Reference"

Hello,
In the extras, there is a function that should be called "Word count" or something like that (sorry I have it in German), and it counts not only the words but also the sentences, characters, etc.
There you go, good luck :o)

Otherwise, in French, for a generic text, you need to multiply the number of words by 5.5 to approximately get the number of characters.
