Assuming Word 2007
Go to the customize Quick Access toolbar by using the keyboard
shortcut
ALT F I C
"Choose commands from" dropdown select "All Commands"
Type "X" gets you closer.
Scroll up to "Word Count"
Highlight and click "Add".
Click "OK"
At the top of screen you will have a button that you can press.
