= SUMMARY =

To learn the number of characters in a document in progress in Microsoft Word versions 3.0x, choose Save from the File menu. The number will appear in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Word also briefly displays this number when a file is initially opened.

Keep in mind that this count also includes special characters, such as spaces, paragraph marks, and line breaks.

Word version 4.00 has a Word Count feature that lists the number of characters, words, lines, or paragraphs for the entire document or for any selection in the document.
