Weekly Teaching and Learning Email - Word 2010 Character Count

15th May 2015

Dear Colleagues,

I hope this finds you well.  As we enter another reporting period I thought I would send round a quick tip on how to find the character count on Word 2010. 

In Word 2010, to get to the word count window you can click on "Words: ###" At the bottom of every open Word document (See screen shot below).  This Window then shows you the various word and character counts, including “Characters (with spaces)”.  This will let you know if your report meets the new criteria of 500 characters including spaces.

You can fast forward the following YouTube video to 36 seconds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXfohxnol00) which provides a more visual walk through.

I hope that helps and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Best regards,
Neil
