Where is the word count tool?

Type everything except the number itself. For that, type NUMWORDS, then
select that word and press Ctrl+F9 to convert it to a field and F9 to
update.

I know where it is - but how do I insert the [WORD COUNT: 250] on my typed
document?

Hi,

You'll find the Word Count function under the "Review" tab (under "Set
Language"). I hope it helps,

Cheers,

The most relevant answer to most everyone's question about finding commands
in Word '07 is simple:
1. Right-click on the "HOME" tab.
2. Select "CUSTOMIZE QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR"
3. In the new window under "Choose Commands From:" drop down menu, select
"ALL COMMANDS"
4.You will see a list of all commands. Scroll down to whatever command you
have been looking for and highlight it. Click "ADD" button.
5. The command button will now reside on the top toolbar in Word '07.

NOTE: not all commands that were available in '03 are directly accessible in
'07. That is why you have to go to the "Customize Quick Access Toolbar"
operation.

There's a Word Count button on the Review tab, but it's much more
satisfactory to right-click on the status bar and add Word Count as one of
the buttons there. It will automatically display the word count of the
entire document or a selection, and you can click on it to get the character
count and other statistics.

I have one machine that refuses to show Word Count in the status bar. I go to
Review and click the 123 button, and it will show Page 2 of 2, but not the
word count. Then, next time I start Word I have to do that again. How do I
get it to show the Word Count on the status bar, and how do I get it to stay
there so next time I start Word it comes up again?

Thanks!
 
Word2007? Right-click on the status bar and turn on Word Count. (And
whichever of the other availabilities would be convenient for you.)
