Google Docs Now Displays a Live Word Count

With this new feature, you can now see the word count live in the document as you write.




Displaying this information is very helpful and enormously useful to users working on Google Docs who needed a minimum or maximum word count.


Instead of manually accessing the number of words each time in the Tool menu:

  • Tools > Word Count

Or by using:

  • Ctrl+Shift+C for Windows

  • Command+Shift+C for macOS
