Hi Daniel,
    Text Edit should be able to handle most popular formats.  I don't know if 
there is a word processor app that will give you a word count, though I believe 
you can get the page information and such from the document properties.

    For a word counter, there is a free app in the Mac App store, Nano Count, 
that does a good job.


Take Care
