Character Count in Word

Solved
Jacques Leblanc -

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

      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!
