Add a word count toolbar

Add a word count toolbar

This feature is enabled by default in Word 2007 — only Word 2003 users may apply. You can count the words in a document with a single click by adding a word counter to your toolbar. Go to View > Toolbars and check Word Count. Drag onto your toolbar the small bar that pops up. Now you can just click Recount whenever you want to know your word count — extra stats are stored in the drop down menu.
