Hi, You wrote: Hi, Does anyone know what is the keystroke to get word count in Microsoft word? Before 2010 it was f7. But I am not sure what is the new one? I always thought f7 was for the spell checker. Anyway, try alt+r followed by w. That should do it, I think. If not, press f6 to get to the Status Bar, then use your right arrow to locate the Word Count button. Tom
