I'm confused. I want to know if it is possible to see the total number of
words I have typed in a document. Is it? If someone could answer, it would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Try the WORD COUNT function which is found on the TOOLS page

In versions of Word before 2007, select Toolbars from the View menu and
check the Word Count toolbar. It will show you the total number of words in
the document if the selection is collapsed, or the number of words selected
if that is the case.

In Word 2007, right click on the bottom Status Bar and check the Word Count
item. If the selection is collapse, it will show the toal number of words
in the document. If the selection contains a number of words it will show

CountofWordsSelected\TotalNumberofWordsinDocument.
