Counting Words with Writer

At the outset, I have to confess that I’m not sure if this is a new feature in Windows Live Writer or not.  But it’s new to me as I just discovered it.  Did you know you can enable a real-time word count display in the status bar of Writer?  It’s handy when you’re authoring posts and want to keep them under a certain length.

Turning it on is easy, just click on the Tools menu, then Options…, and then click Editing in the options window.  Check the word count checkbox:

Then you’ll see the count at the bottom of the screen:

There are lots of other cool options in Writer.  What have you found?

    I\’ve noticed the Word Count feature since testing out the Wave 3 version of Windows Live Writer. I don\’t think it was in the previous Live Writer before that though. It\’s a very handy feature.
