Question:

How do you count the number of words, index entries, or table of contents (TOC) entries in a Word versions 3.x or 4.00 document?

Response:

Follow these steps to count the occurrences of a particular word or group of words:


 * 1) Choose Change from the Search menu.
 * 2) In the Find What box, type in the word(s) to be counted (or “.i.” or “.c.” if you are counting the number of index or TOC entries, respectively).
 * 3) In the Change To box, type in the same text you typed in the Find What box in step 2.
 * 4) Click the Change All option.

The number of changes (occurrences) will then appear in the lower-left corner of your screen.
