How do I find the word count for just a selection of text? I’m switching back and forth between windows and mac versions here. I was told by a mac user that highlighting the text should make the selection count appear in the bottom bar, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. Any ideas?
After you make the selection in the text, go to Project>Project Statistics; it’ll show you both the contents of the Draft as a whole (as defined by the settings in the Options tab there) and for your selection. This works in the Mac version too, but you can also view the selection word count in the footer there.
You can also find the word count by right clicking after you’ve selected your text. It’ll be shown greyed out at the bottom of the context menu.
