Hello,

I know there is a word count tool in Microsoft Word, but is there any way
that number can be inserted in the document anywhere, i.e. the header or the
footer?

Thanks!
 
Insert the NUMWORDS field where you want the word count. Note that this
field (like most fields) won't update automatically. If you choose to insert
it in the header or footer, you can update it by switching to Print Preview
and then back to your favorite view.
 
Insert a NUMWORDS field, either through the Insert Field dialog or by
typing NUMWORDS in the document, selecting it, and pressing Ctrl+F9
followed by F9 to update.
