...also take a look at your Status Bar. You should see the live count of
Words in your document and clicking it will display the Word Count dialog
box.

If you don't see Words: # in your Status Bar, right-click the Status Bar
and then click Word Count to add it.

What could be clearer than that?

So basically what she's saying here (forget her "I'm sure you know"
comment,
because obviously if you did, you wouldn't be writing here anyway - right?
So
basically she's saying double click on the Word Count words and a dialog
box
will display showing you the character count in your entire document.
Speak
Ease for the little people why don't ya?

The Live Count will display the number of words (or selected words) in
the
document but clicking the command will display the Word Count dialog box
which, as I'm sure you know, provides the character count. It's faster to
access the dialog box using the Status Bar than switching to the Review
tab.

I can see the number of words in a selection, but I'm using an
application
that restricts the number of characters. That was an easy-to-find &
use
feature in previous versions of MS Word.

Where is it in MS Word 2007?
