Microsoft Word help

I'm pretty sure this whole time I've been using Micro. Word, it's been counting the amount of characters that I type. That's what I'm wanting.

But I think it's counting the amount of words for some reason and I don't want it to count that, I want the characters.

Would anyone know how to change that setting? I don't know how it got changed but I'm pretty sure it's been counting the characters I've been typing all until this morning.

The orange is where I need it to character count instead of word count.

Can someone please help me?

No

can't find out anything on how to get character count down there, but clicking on that word count at the bottom opens up a window which also shows ur character count

edit: I only have MS Word 2007, though, so all the newer versions might have a way to do that

Ok, I guess I'll have to roll with that.

But another question: Is it normal for it to be word count or do you remember character count every being an option?

I truly can't remember for myself because I never paid attention. I just paid attention to the numbers going up as I typed.

Does it say word count on yours as a default?

Maybe I'm just over thinking then. If I can click on that tool and still view the characters, then I'll roll with that. Something still feels different, but it's whatevs.

Thank you a bunch for your help.

If anyone else has something to share about this, then please do.

I'm not sure about Word 2013, but iIm afraid there's no way to have the character count at the bottom. You'll have to either click the words button or go to the review tab and click it there.

Alright thanks, Crash. I must of really looked hard at the bottom this morning and realized it wasn't characters counting. I must of over thought when something didn't seem right, but it seems everything is normal.
