The Service will allow me to then use any text I've selected as input. Then I'm going to choose New and create a Service. Do Command space and search for Automator and run it. But I can now use Automator and create a simple service that will allow me to check the word count of any selection in any app that I'm using. I want to see how many words are in my email message. And in other apps you don't have that ability. So that little trick in Find gives you the ability to find every word and give you a total for the number of words in that document.īut that still doesn't give you the ability to find out how may words are in a selection. Now it's going to find all the occurrences of a word. The pattern I'm going to choose is a word. So instead of searching for a word I'm going to click here on the little magnifying glass and Search for Pattern. Notice it has the number two there because it found it twice. So, for instance, say I search for a word here that's here twice. So what you want to do is go to Edit and Find. But you can use a little trick to find out how many words are in a document. In TextEdit there is no option to show word count. You can select what you've written so far and see how many words are there as opposed to the entire document. So this is great if you're given yourself a quota of the number of words you want to write per day.

Also if you select some text, like I'll select this paragraph here, it changes to show you how many words are in the selection. You can click on this list and it will show you even more things like characters, characters without spaces, paragraphs, things like that. At the bottom here you'll see a little list here that shows how many words.
For instance, here in Pages if we wanted to know how many words are in this document I can just go to View and then choose Show Word Count.
This is easy to do in some cases and very difficult to do in others.
