Recently, I was working on an article on my iPad that needed a specific word count. I didn’t have access to my Surface since I was traveling and needed to get the article out the door ASAP.
Since I am an Office 365 E3 user, I have access to the full version of Microsoft Word on the iPad. The word count on my PC is visible – but I had to hunt for it on my iOS device.
Go to the Review Ribbon and choose the second icon over (the icon with lines and "123"). It will show you pages, word count and even characters!
Happy writing!
