Wword count for multiple scenes

@Itajel

Thanks for your response. what i learned is that it comes down to me having to add all selections manually

This is incorrect.

@Itajel

Is there any hope that scrivener might add a functionality for that eventually? word count by selection might be a bit useful for some.

Scrivener already offers word count by selection, as Katherine pointed out. Select the documents in the binder, put the editor in Scrivenings mode, and the footer will contain the summed word count of all the selected documents.

In the screenshot below, the selected documents Page View and Revision mode are in Scrivenings. Page View is 165 words and Revision Mode is 94 words. Summed, that is 294 words, which is what is being displayed in the footer.

Please note that the documents do not need to be contiguous for this feature to work.

If it isn’t working this way for you, upload a screenshot so we can see what you’re seeing.

Best,
Jim
