      Do you like to see the word count as you write? 

      Now instead of going to Tools > Word Count each time you want to view this information, you can simply follow these steps:-

      1. Select Tools > Word count 
      2. Select Display word count while typing
      3. Your word count will be continuously on display in the lower left corner of your doc. 
      4. Then if you click on the word count box, you can also view more information, like the page count, character count (with and without spaces).
      5. Tip: This feature works best for shorter documents, like news articles or school essays. For longer documents, like novels or screenplays, we recommend viewing the word count by going to Tools > Word count.
