 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of Google Docs, Tips and Tricks video and I'll talk about how to view the word count on Google Docs. If this is your first time or a pre-visit, thank you for your support on this channel. I'm also trying new and different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box, this is the channel to subscribe. If you're looking for more Google Docs, Tips and Tricks videos, there will be links in the description box below. So today I'll show you how you can see the word count on Google Docs and you're looking at one of my Egypt travel articles. You'll be able to see the full Egypt travel trip on my website amitdan.com or on my YouTube channel. The links will be in the description box below. So for example, if you'd like to count the words in this document, the way you can see on Google Docs is to go to the tools which is going to be on the upper kind of left corner. So here you see the tools. So if you click on it and then here you can see the word count which is this option right here and if you click on it then it will give you all the information you need to know. For example, this page has 230 words and this many characters and spaces excluding characters and also it gives you the pages and also there's another feature. Let's say if you'd like to view how many words you have when you're typing then you can just you know check this box and click okay and then what happens then it's showing the word counts right here. So for example, if you're typing something here just you know keep an eye on the word count. So let's say I am going so you can see that you know it increased and it's just you know updating instantly. So it shows how many words you're writing right on the left lower corner of the screen and if you'd like to get rid of that you can just you know click on the tiny arrow right here and you can click on the hide word count then it's gone. Now another feature I would like to show you if you'd like to see some parts of your document or portion of your document then you can just highlight that part. So for example, let's say I would like to look at the word count of this part. So if you highlight that and then if you click here again tools and then if you go to word count this time it's only showing the highlighted words which is 43 words. So it's not showing not only the whole words but also just the part you highlighted which is 43 of 233. So that means this document has 233 words in total but you highlighted only 43 words. So if you like to get rid of it then you can just hit cancel then it will go away. Now if you'd like to use the shortcut the shortcut is right here control shift C and that will bring up bring up the same box the word count. So that's how you view word count on Google Docs. Thank you for watching this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly.
