How do I get a word count in Pages 5.5.2?

I have a 21.5" iMac, bought December, 2014. I have Yosemite 10.10.2 installed and I am using Pages 5.5.2.
How do I get a Word Count in Pages 5.5.2?

View menu > Show Word Count.
A floating panel will appear at the bottom of your document. Pass your mouse over the right-side of this floating panel and you will see up/down arrows. Click. Choose Word count from the list of available counts. The floating panel now displays word count, until you change it again. You can also move this floating panel with a command+click+drag, in case you want it below your footer content.
You might want to download the free WordService service solution from the OS X App Store. I provides you with many additional features (e.g. Sort Ascending, Document Statistics, etc.) The act of downloading this application will install, but not activate several services. You activate what you want in:
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services : WordService:servicename.
The WordService application will be in your LaunchPad (on your left Dock). Run it and choose Help. This will launch the Preview PDF viewer and a document showing all the Services available, and their description. Services in OS X act on selected document content. If you want more detail on the number of words, characters, and spaces in a selected paragraph, you would use Pages > Services > WordService:Statistics.

  • How do I get a word count in pages on my iPad?

    Two questions:  I am writing a document on iPad:in Pages.
    1. How can I count the words?
    2. I keep backing it up on iCloud, but document does not appear on my iMac. How do I get it to copy to there?
    Many thanks
    Bill

    Word count: Tap the wrench icon at the top and choose Settings from the menu that opens. Turn on Word Count.
    Do you have iCloud turned on on your iMac? You need to make sure Documents and Data syncing to iCloud is turned on on the computer.

  • How do I see my word count on Pages 5.1?

    I just downloaded Pages 5.1 on my Mac, but I'm beginning to not like the changes. For example, where can I find my word count without pasting the entire body of the document into an outside source?
    Thanks for your help!

    You are aware that Apple has removed over 100 features form Pages 5 and added a long list of bugs, including problems opening files?
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Stick with that until Apple fixes Pages 5 or an alternative arises.

  • Getting a Word Count

    How do you get a word count on Pages? I know how to do it on a PC, but I searched everywhere and found nothing on pages.

    (1) Entering the Help and searching for Word Count, we get a response in the second reference offered.
    (2) Searching with the same keystring in the PDF User Guide, the first occurence is a fine one.
    (3) entering the Preferences, the first page contains a check box entitled: "Show word count at window bottom".

  • How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks

    How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks?

    Hi jonathan,
    I struggled with this one as well, as i'm finishing up a PhD thesis and word counts are incredibly important. Through trial and error i found out that words like 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' count as two words and an ampersand (&) doesn't count at all. That being said, i didn't like the fact that the word count always included footnotes and i was dismayed that i couldn't get an accurate count of words in the main body of my text. That all disappeared yesterday when, by chance, while i was copying a completed chapter and pasting it into my main document, i discovered that Pages can indeed give you an accurate word count excluding the footnotes!  Here's all you need to do:
    1. In pages 5.2, make sure that the Word Count function is first enabled by selecting View --> Show Word Count from the Pages Menu Bar. (If it's already enabled, it will read View --> Hide Word Count, so if that's what it says, then no need to do anything.)
    2. Once enabled, check the Word count that's currently showing at the bottom of the page. That's the word count including your footnotes.
    2. Now, place your cursor anywhere within the current document, then hit command+A (for Select All).
    3. Viola! Your word count now shows the actual number of words within the body of the text only, excluding footnotes!
    Hope that helps!

    You're going to need to go buy it from somewhere. MS may sell a digital version of MS Office that you can buy and download or you may need to find the boxed software for a Mac somewhere.

  • How do you find the word count on MacBook, please?

    How do you find the word count on MacBook, please?

    If you are trying to find word count in a Microsoft Word 2011 documemt, for instance, open the document and go to the Tools menu, selecting Word Count. In Apple's Pages application, open the document and look at the bottom of the page, near the left it will say "X Words" where X is the number.
    Best of luck.

    Purchase the software from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products
    Depending on which version of OS X you have, you may be able to purchase Pages in the App Store for $20 instead. Pages is Apple's equivalent to Word.

  • Is there a way to exclude title, heading and bibliography text from the word count in pages?

    I've just got the newest version of pages.
    The word count includes everything, from titles to endnotes - including the numbers in my sub-headings.
    I used to use open office where you could select a style i.e. 'body tex't, and get a word count that didn't include every single word in a document.
    Is there a way of doing something similar, or reseting the word count to only 'body text' so I know exactly how long my essays are?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, no version of Pages has this fine-grained control over document components and their word count, so the answer is no, regarding user changeable settings.
    Programmatically, I just told AppleScript to count the words of body text in a currently opened Pages v5.2 document. The count matched the Pages word count for the document. So, no solution there either.

    When I have finished reviewing an app, if I click the back arrow in the top left corner it takes me back to the first page of the category. Not very user friendly when there are dozens of pages to click through to get back to where you were. How do I get back to the same page I was on?
