Frequently asked

How accurate is the page count?

It assumes ~250 words per page at 12pt single-spaced. Actual page count depends on Word's own page setup, font size, and margins.

Does it include text inside tables or text boxes?

Yes — all the document's readable text is counted, including tables. Headers and footers may be excluded depending on the document.
