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.
