In order to count the characters in the "Word", it is not at all necessary to recount every letter of the typed text yourself. There are a couple of wonderful features that make this task easier.
Instructions
Step 1
First, turn on your computer. Go to the Start Panel menu, in the All Programs window, open the Microsoft office folder, select and start the Microsoft Word program.
Step 2
Type your text. In order to count the entire characters of your text, select it in full. To do this, left-click on the text and drag the cursor from the very beginning of the text to the very end so that the entire text is covered. Don't release the button until you are sure the area of interest is highlighted.
Step 3
Then, in the lower left part of the screen on the computer panel, you will see information about the number of pages, and next to it information about the number of characters in your selected text. Click on "Number of characters" and a new window will open. It will provide information on the number of characters with spaces, without spaces.
Step 4
If you want to determine the number of characters of individual passages in your text, then this is done as follows. It is necessary to select several areas at once. You can select text not only with the left mouse button, but also with the Ctrl key. To do this, press and hold the Ctrl key. In this case, it is necessary to select the fragments of interest with the left mouse button. After the text you need is highlighted, in the same way as described above, in the lower left corner of the panel, find the inscription "Number of characters" and click on it to display a window with the information you need on the text.
Step 5
If you want to know the number of certain characters, be it letters or punctuation marks, then select all the text, press and hold the Ctrl and F. A window will open where in the "find" line you must enter the character you are interested in, then press the "Find" button and select in the proposed options "Main document". After processing the request, a window will open, which will provide information about how many times this character occurs in the given text.
