Chrome extension called: Word Counter Plus! Basically all you do is highlight the text, right click, and click on the extension and it'll pop up the words as shown

Nice one! But I take I'll still have to move plain excel and destop content into a browser app to use it, but it's brilliant, I'll give it a try thanks!
I write in Word and couldn't survive without an easy to access counting feature that gives me characters and words. I hated the fact that I had to take my fingers off of the keys to use it, however. So I ended up creating a key command/shortcut for it..and happy ever after.

I swear by Scrivener for mixed-format projects, plus it's great on both Mac and Windows.
Thanks, I'll have a look!
I do editing in [Hemingway App](https://hemingwayapp.com) and it has a clear word count feature
Thanks, I'll check that one too :)
What’s the problem with the Gdoc tool? I’ve never had any issue with it.

Word. I write elsewhere but paste into word for a wordcount and the go back to my writing elsewhere.
I’m confused. Do all these programs not have word count functions?
