Default How can I count characters in a document?

Is there any way to change the count default unit on the status bar from
"words" to "characters (with spaces)"? For my purposes, word count would be
too imprecise.

On the Review tab of the Ribbon, in the Proofing group, Word count is the
bottom button on the right (the one with ABC/123). But it's much easier to
click on the Word Count button on the status bar, which pops up the same
dialog.

Click Tools Word Count (in Word 2007, Review Proofing Word
Count). It will tell you the number of characters with and without
spaces.
