As Beth said, right-click the status bar at the bottom of the Word window. A
menu will list all the things that can be displayed on the status bar,
although most of them are turned off by default. The one you want is
"Column".

So basically what she's saying here (forget her "I'm sure you know" comment,
because obviously if you did, you wouldn't be writing here anyway - right? So
basically she's saying double click on the Word Count words and a dialog box
will display showing you the character count in your entire document. Speak
Ease for the little people why don't ya?

As it happens, Beth *was* sure I knew, and I did, and this thread was over
and done with nearly four months ago, so why are you stirring it up again?

Why don't you read the whole thread properly. What was written in Beth's
first reply was...
QUOTE
...also take a look at your Status Bar. You should see the live count of
Words in your document and clicking it will display the Word Count dialog
box.
If you don't see Words: <#> in your Status Bar, right-click the Status Bar
and then click Word Count to add it.>>>
ENDQUOTE
What could be clearer than that?
