To improve access to the character counts (by default, Review tab, Proofing
group, Word count), add the Word Count command to the Quick Access Toolbar

Office Button, Office menu, Word Options, Word Options dialog box,
Customize, under Choose commands from, select Review tab, scroll down the
list and select Word count, Add, OK

Is there anyway to set the 'Word Count' in the statusbar of Word 2007 to
display the 'Character Count' instead. I know you can get it by simply
clicking the word count "button" and it will give you all the word count
statistics, but it would be much more beneficial to me to have it just show
the Character Count.
