Word count issue

[kylepatterson 1]

Hi Evernote community, sorry to be a pest with a basic issue, but I'm new to this caper. I have read the guidance on world counts, as follows;

Evernote for Windows

There are a few different ways to find the word count in Evernote for Windows:

• Open a note, right-click in the note editor, and choose 'Word and Resource Counts' from the contextual menu.
• Select a note and go to Note > Word and Resource Counts from the menu.
• Select a note and enable the status bar by going to View > Show Status Bar from the menu. Word and character counts are visible in the status bar

 

However, the menu bar on my notes has nothing like see (see attachment). I know I must be missing something simple, but I need your help!

Thanks in anticipation

Kyle

Hi.  The status bar is at the bottom of your note?

Thanks for responding. No, the menu bar is at the top of the page above the text. I can't generate any of the drop downs or options suggested in the Help advice.

Wasn't actually a question...

The status bar is at the bottom of your note.

Except (according to your toolbar image) that you're using the browser 'Beta' version of Evernote,  which isn't yet a fully-featured version of the app.  If you check Settings you should see an option to step back to a previous version... which also does not include word-count.  That seems to be a feature of the installed Desktop app which is where my image comes from.

Thank you gazumped, much appreciated. I downloaded the app for desktop and found the word count feature. All good!
