Instead of clicking around several windows and checkboxes to get the results, one can choose to type in the filed codes directly to insert a field.
How to get word count in word 2016 how to#
(Don’t panic if you toggled the field and see something different and you do not know how to get it back, read on!) Text count inserted as a MS Field Method #2: Ctrl + F9 But let’s just stop here for the first method. If you right click on this field, select Toggle Field Codes, you will get to see what the second method I am going to talk about. As shown in the following figure, if you highlight the text, you should be able to see that the number has a slightly darker background, because it is not a regular text, it is a field object. What you get is the total text count in the format of ‘x,xxx’. Your selections should be exactly the same as those in the the following figure.
Select it and the Field properties panel should automatically shows up. On the left panel, select Document Information for Categories and you should be able to see NumWordsin the list of field names.
You should get the following window popped up. In your Word document, go to where you want to insert the word count, then go to the InsertTab, find the Text Section, select Quick Parts, then Field. To add this number to your title page, there are at least two ways to do it: Method #1: Insert > Quick Parts > Field In MS Word, there is a field name called NumWords which basically is the number of words in the document. (I will also talk about dynamically add date in the document at the end of this article, scroll to the bottom if you are looking for that information)Īdding text count is most straight forward task compared to the other counts. Here is a list of things you need to do to achieve that. You want to insert and format these four numbers automatically.Ĥ,000 words + 1 table + 2 figures = 4,750 words The expected word count text you want to show on the title page is shown below. Let’s assume that you have 4,000 words, 1 tables, and 2 figures. I am using Word 2013 for this example, but I believe earlier versions have the exact same function for you to insert dynamic counts. I have submitted papers to this meeting before but never spent the time to automate the word count process, but as I was struggling with getting my word count in LaTeX, I finally decide to give it a try in Microsoft Office Word. The way they calculate word count is that, in addition to text count, each table or figure counts as 250 words, and the limit for total word count is 7,500. I have been working on a conference paper to be submitted to the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting recently and it is required that the authors add a total word count on the title page.
