The Notepad++ Word Count

To carry out a word count in Notepad++:

• select all of the text (by pressing Control-A)
• click on TextFX (on the menu bar)
• then click on TextFX Tools
• and then Word Count

and that’s all there is to it.

Just an FYI…I constantly look things up. Notepad++ is the ultimate replacement for Windows “Notepad” particularly if you’re coding or otherwise working with text files.
