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.

  • 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 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.

  • Can you do a Word Count in Pages?

    I am working on College essays and applications and a lot of the essays they require you to write can only be so many words. Is there a way to do a word count on Pages? On my PC, Microsoft Word 07 automatically has the word count in the bottom of the window.
    Please help!

    In the inspector there is an automatic word count in the document section. All you need to do is select the info column and it should be there!

  • Putting Word Count in Pages Document

    Is there a way to insert a document's current word count directly into the body of the document? In other words, is there a way to do the equivalent of "Insert Page Number" or "Insert Page Count" for word count?

    It's dificult to read page 307 in a guide containing 266 pages.
    On page 37 I may read how to view word count and other document statistics but,
    - I saw nothing about current weather
    - I saw nothing about a way to insert the word count in the document as it was asked by the OP
    As far as I know,
    we may insert page num, page count, date time, file name
    but we only
    may display word count.

  • 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.

  • How do I open a word doc using Pages?

    I am new to Macs and I have no idea how to open a word document in Pages. I really do not want to keep Windows or Word on the mac so if there is any way to keep Windows off my computer please help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    If you want to always open Word documents with Pages, you can set OS X to do that. Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. You can then double-click the Word documents & they will open in Pages. Note that the icon for the Word files will have a plain, white icon.
