Is there a way to count words in highlighted text?

Dear Scriveners,
I wonder if there is a way to perform a word count for highlighted text? I can see the word count for the whole document at the bottom of the pane, but it would be very helpful to be able to get a word count for highlighted text only (like you can in Word).
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated,
best regards
Matt

Hello Matthew,
Highlight the section of text you want. Right click and a menu appears. At the bottom of the menu is the word count for the highlighted text.

Got it! Many thanks indeed.
