Checking the word count on Google Docs is quite simple! You can do this by clicking on "Tools" in the menu bar and then selecting "Word count," or you can use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C (Cmd+Shift+C on a Mac). This will show you the number of words, characters, and more. Is there a specific document you're working on, or is there a reason the word count is important for you right now? I'd love to hear more about your project!
