Hi friend,

The Microsoft word procedure to count the number of words is very easy. For this first make selection of paragraph that have edited and then you need to select Tools in the menu bar. Then select Words Count to show the number of words in a new current MS word window. This counting of words very useful for example, if you wish to make a presentation on Microsoft word for an approximate number of 600 words. You can base yourself on below explanation in order not to be too short or even lengthy.

In Microsoft word it is possible to count the number of words in a selection or selections, in case of counting all words of the current in a document word. This selections of words don't need to be next to each other for you to count them.To select sections of text that aren't next to each other, select the first section, and then hold down CTRL and select additional sections. To do this you just need to make selection of the desired text. The status bar displays the number of words in the selection.

Microsoft Word has special features to counts the number of words within current Microsoft word document. In Microsoft Office Word you will also get the option to count the number of lines, number of paragraphs and number of pages from the given word document. You will also get the option to count the character by including or excluding the spaces between two characters. But unfortunately I don't know the procedure to do this word counting.
