I recently translated a document in which I used a lot of text boxes for translation in MS Word. I know words in text boxes are not counted when MS Word automatically counts words. So how do I count the words in text boxes? Should I just manually count them? But that'd take such a long time as in my case which I translated so many of them in text boxes. Is there any way to count them automatically? Thank you very much.

Word 2007?
Jun 27, 2009
Hello, Tae Kim.
Are you using Word 2007? If so, the PC version definitely counts words in text boxes. I am not certain aboutWord 2003, or earlier PC/Mac versions.
Thanks,
Mack

I see, yes I am using Word 2003. I didn't know you can count text box words too with Word 2007. I think I'll buy Word 2007, thank you so much for giving me this information! Thank you again.

Important

When using Word 2007 remember that it does not include text boxes by default. You need to click of the word count and make sure that the option "add text boxes and footnotes" is checked.
Cheers Stanislaw
